Seriously, totally uncalled for.

I would say that for the majority of people Vim is just working fine.

That 'guy' has been maintaining Vim for years and all he asks for is to donate to his charity.

Also, did you read his response? He doesn't say don't do it. Just wouldn't be easy and some current functionality may be lost. In his mind, it would be better to work on the current code base and do small changes. I would say that's an entirely reasonable response.

It's comments like this that turn people off from working on open source.
