There are quite a lot of similar changes to old defaults (see the lines starting with defaults:) like mapping C-l to cleaning search highlight & updating diffs or various option changes.
It is a line of text visible in the editor but is not present in the actual text buffer. Previously nvim supported virtual text inline, used to show warnings or other information after a line of code for example. Now entire lines can be inserted virtually.
I still use gvim for pasting things in scratch files quite a bit. Is there a recommended GUI for neovim these days? I tried one a few months ago, but it was barely usable
I don’t know if recommended but I’m enjoying neovide quite a bit, for being basically console nvim with small improvements that don’t try to make it into something else.

What is a virtual line?

I might be poking at this in the future – editor integrations for annotated code.

I use vimr for this same scenario. I haven’t had any issues.
vimr++
I’ll add that the main developer is very helpful even in the face of very out-of-the-ordinary problems.
I also use vimr as a daily driver and have been happy with it. I’ve also used neovim-qt in the past and that was very solid.
