Is this plugin still needed?

As the title says, given the latest nvim updates/versions.

--remote

Nvim supports --remote : we can alias nvim="nvim --server $NVIM --remote" if there's no server nvim will starts locally and in embedded terminal it will open in the parent nvim instead of creating a new nvim in nvim.

--remote-wait

remote-wait is not yet supported by neovim (neovim/neovim#24788)

Fugitive instead of git

Personally I don't need it as I use fugitive so I can just type something like this in the embedded terminal to get fugitive "nvim --server $NVIM --remote-send '<C->:G')"
