>Before I can take Neovim seriously, I need a Neovim GUI that is exactly what gvim or MacVim provide — not something that adds features I neither want nor need nor can I easily disable.

Having used MacVim for several years and now using Neovim mostly in the terminal but sometimes VimR, I disagree that it's a mess.

I get wanting to have a common gvim ui/ux across platforms, but I think having a Mac-like or Windows-like ui/ux on those platforms mostly trumps that.

Also, the special features of VimR, like the built-in file browser and Markdown preview can easily be disabled. Using the native rendering of macOS and support for ligatures, for example, is certainly a plus IMHO.
