The article is deliberately using selective quotes to paint Bram Molenaar in the worst possible light.
A common tactic among people who take over code bases in order to cruise on other people's hard work.
- mplanchard 6y agoI don’t know. I don’t think the author paints him in a particularly bad light. It mostly seems to be trying to point out why neovim was made, specifically that its authors valued different things than the author of vim. I also think the amount of work that’s gone into neovim is way more than enough to call the authors authors at this point. The forking of vim doesn’t seem to me to be “tak[ing] over code based in order to cruise on other people‘a hard work,” but open source working as intended. The neovim authors were able to take a project, adjust it to fit with their values, and let people decide which they prefer.
- mpalmer 6y agoYou and thread OP seem to have signed up just to make these comments. Do you think your obvious bias against Neovim is coloring your perceptions of the piece? Because it is not about trashing Vim or Moolenaar.
