> There is a constant push from the Neovim camp that Vim is stagnant, backwards, dead, etc. None of this is true, and the messaging should absolutely stop. Frankly, I’d be happier if they rebranded from Neovim, because IMO they’re not vim and have stopped caring about compatibility with vim.

I have happily used (Brams) Vim the majority of my career; some daliances into PyCharm or VSCode here and there.Prior to the NeoVim fork; Vim felt.. slow.. to adopt new features. I was OK with that generally. 5 years for Vim7 to come out was the biggest gap, before Vim8 released after a decade gap (with NeoVim getting forked ~halfway through). Each major release taking longer than the previous. You can say Vim development hadn't slowed; but major releases did; with a ten year gap was concerning.

I don't say that as a negative on Bram, but 10 years between major releases is an eternity in the modern programming world - I'm glad he's refocused, Vim-9 is a huge leap forward.
