Neovim is bloat. But for both Neovim and vi/Vi IMproved, just go through the
tutorial and learn basic keys and ideas behind using it. (BTW, addons are
unnecessary, Vim is a fully functional text editor, and then some.) If that's
too hard for you, then that's your reason, the "why (not)?". Just carry on
using whatever else without regrets. But if you want to be a "cool kid", you
should know that that's bought with self-determination and a strength of will
to read, tinker and explore.
BTW, the rationale and core ideas behind the suckless movement are explained on
the website, go read it:
