    I was more curious about horizontal/vertical scroll snapping of text, given if the underlying vim properties are still limited to terminal style rendering of whole fractions of text lines and fixed characters, then it’s less of a concern what exactly the GUI front end is.

      It explains most of this on the features page of the site.

      It’s pretty snappy even on lower spec machines. I didn’t notice any issues with scroll snapping.

      It scrolls smoothly, it doesn’t snap line by line. Although once the scroll animation is complete the final positions of lines and columns do end up aligned to a grid.

      Neovim (as opposed to Vim) is not limited to terminal rendering. It’s designed to be a UI-agnostic backend. It happens that the default frontend runs in a terminal.
