Neovim is better in many ways, and because it has lua support, it's so much easier to write plugins for it. So there are thousands of plugins right now, and entire neovim distributions that are configured to work like an IDE, like Lazyvim for example.

https://www.lazyvim.org/

I'm a huge fan and I have written plugins myself since it's easy and rewarding.

But on the server, I don't bother installing neovim. Ordinary vim is fine for simple editing tasks. But if you want a customized experience to replace VS Code on your computer, you want neovim and not vim.
