goneovim is a Neovim GUI written in Go, using a Qt binding for Go. This repository forked from the original Gonvim for the purpose of maintenance and enhancement. Traditionally, Neovim (and even Vim) has been optimized for working with Terminal, and some Terminal-based workflows cannot be achieved with a GUI. Therefore, for some people, a GUI would be the unnecessary additional stuff. On the other hand, in my opinion, there are some attractive features of GUI. Since Neovim performs all of its operations with the keyboard, having more meta keys available is a simple advantage. Neovim has an embedded terminal emulator that can be run in :terminal, so you can run basic terminal workflows using :terminal with bash or zsh in Neovim GUI. It is also possible to use remote control tools such as nvr to avoid nvim in nvim in Neovim GUI. For example, it is possible to scroll based on pixels, to set different font families and point sizes for each window.
