Neovim has already been very productive by giving Vim some good competition and in so doing having better features come out in Vim.
To me it doesn't make sense to 'hate' neovim for wanting to develop features that they tried to have in Vim but couldn't due to the main developer stalling it.
To me, vim has never been emacs. I run two plugins, vdebug and MRU (most recently used list... super useful). Everything else is out of the box. I like where neovim is going, I think it's great, but vim is fine for me.
