Every mention of Vim turns into promotion of NeoVIM. Perhaps submit a story about NeoVIM if you want to talk about it. And what value do comments like this add?

Every mention of Vim turns into promotion of NeoVIM. Perhaps submit a story about NeoVIM if you want to talk about it. And what value do comments like this add? How am I better informed after reading it?
> NeoVIM is just... better
> an actual active development that isn's a single contributor is going to create a better project
Seriously? Since Vim was first released, probably there have been millions of software projects fitting the latter description that have not been nearly as successful as Vim. There are millions of them on Github right now. And don't forget the personal attack:

- actuallyalys 10y ago>Every mention of Vim turns into promotion of NeoVIM. I understand the frustration, but doesn't every Hacker News thread have a thread about alternatives (usually including some promotion)? I mean, every Vim thread includes a discussion of Emacs, too.
- flukus 10y agoTrue, but as someone that visits places specifically for vim like (/r/vim) it get's particularly annoying. It's not that it's out of place here, is just a cumulative effect (for me personally anyway) from hearing about it where it doesn't belong.
