I don't see how vim can be hindering progress when it, along with emacs, is more powerful than the editors that 99% of other people are using.
Sort of like the Gnu Emacs / XEmacs split back then which divided the contributors. At least in case of Emacs one of these came on top, so there is no split anymore.
Not sure which point you're trying to make. Vim is hindering progress by progressing in all the areas that NeoVim was also progressing??
