Not really what you're after, but... Using a gui text editor means scrolling is usually smoother. Similarly, horizontal scrolling/wraparound experience is better.

Semi related: Did you know they the jetbrains IDEs have official vim-like key bindings? I converted a windows gvim user to it.

This is probably the last thing on my mind when editing text, but sure.

Yea I'm aware, but why would I use an emulator when I can use the real thing?

I don't even think that's the case, honestly. There are ways to make it animated smooth as well, and the scrolling is already more responsive and fast, and thus smooth.

Using vim keybinds in gui ide's feels bad to me usually cause of how slow they tend to be.

I hate animations. I'm glad that scrolling is instant in Neovim.
