You’re right about Neovim’s effect on Vim improvements and lighting a fire in Bram.

Even if neovim goes belly-up (unlikely), or totally diverges (slightly less unlikely), they’ve done a huge service to the vim community simply by existing and offering compelling, thoughtful enhancements while respecting the core spirit of vim - and being exceptionally mindful of practicality in how they approach changes.

Probably one of the best-ever examples of a fork that is Doing It Right.
