I have to admit I don't have a strong opinion here but I do think that neovim defaults are sensible and provide a nicer first-time user experience to the alternative. Particularly:
Syntax highlighting is enabled by default
":filetype plugin indent on" is enabled by default
'autoindent' is set by default
'autoread' is set by default
'hlsearch' is set by default
'incsearch' is set by default
'nocompatible' is always set
'showcmd' is set by default
'smarttab' is set by default
'wildmenu' is set by default
Also, their effort to allow other programming communities to write plugins using languages such as lua, python, ruby and JavaScript/TypeScript is also very interesting and cool.
In regards to the terminal, I'm using nvim/vim with tmux so I haven't found a strong use case yet for the integrated terminal (just haven't had the time to dive in there yet )
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
Yeah, I used the built-in terminal out of curiosity a couple of times but stopped pretty quickly - I don't really see the point apart from for yanking lines out and I'm more likely to use r! to get shell content in anyway.
