Hadn't heard of nvim until today.

Can anyone sell me on this project? I looked at the homepage and README, but they're both pretty hand-wavey.

What problems does nvim solve for experienced vim users?

It is trying to refactor Vim and update it. If those sources are all too "hand-wavey", here's the consolidated feed for the development in the last months: http://neovim.org/news/archive/

Search Neovim in the Hacker news search, there was a lengthy discussion less then a year ago here.
