The death of Bram Moolenaar, Vim founder and benevolent dictator for life (BDFL), in 2023 sent a shock through the community, and raised concern about the future of the project. At VimConf 2024 in November, current Vim maintainer Christian Brabandt delivered a keynote on “the new Vim project" that detailed how the community has reorganized itself to continue maintaining Vim and what the future looks like.

    Nah, neovim made too many breaking changes and prioritizes the wrong things. I’d much rather the spirit of vim continue, albeit with a better organizational structure.

      Curious: what are the wrong things it had prioritised?
