:terminal
is the biggest reason why I am using NeoVim at the moment. I really like navigating the terminal output with vim instead of using the mouse to copy text. Maybe I can switch back to standard vim soon now that it supports:terminal

The best about
:terminal
for me is that I can use vim controls to navigate and search output and also visual mode for copying output.Also really nice is that you can define shortcuts or macros that execute things in the terminal.
When I run
:terminal
in a vertical split I like to use it for things likego test

and I can use@q
to re run the tests.I think it's also important to allow ESC key to get out of terminal mode:
