I think Bram is a lot smarter than me, and I haven’t followed it much, but rewriting vim script and breaking compatibility seems like a bad idea. Part of the appeal of vim is its longevity and stability.

I’ve been using neovim for over a year and I think it’s the future of vim. But I do hope both are around for a very long time.
