Hi there, not a rant. My full appreciation goes to nvim and its contributors. BUT, I'm on nightly and stumbled upon a couple of things that caught my eye as maybe a bit too much opinionated (or perhaps not __enough__):

1st. `:h dir-mappings`:

dir-mappings                                                                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                                                                                                
• - opens the parent directory of the current file or directory. 

overriding the opposite of \+`, [count] lines downward, on the first non-blank character linewise. Great lightweight plugin addition, netrw must go, but terrible default mapping imho.`

2nd. `:h al`:

al  "all lines", select the whole buffer.
When used in Visual mode it is made linewise.

*v_il* *il*
il  "inner line", select the current line without leading
or trailing white space.  Fails on a blank or
white-space-only line.
When used in Visual mode it selects the line under the
cursor and switches to charwise Visual mode.

it would have made sense to me for \al` to be `around`-line, the contrary of `inner`-line, thus selecting the surrounding newline characters not magically become a mnemonic for "all"`
