No, but it tackles the same aforementioned issues:
> opaque maintenance/contributions, poor performance inherited from core design decisions made decades ago, the burden of backwards compatibility for legacy systems, etc.
The main goal of NeoVim is to ditch the backwards compatibility and simplify the codebase. Sure, it isn't a from-scratch rewrite, but it's a very deep fork.
- p2t2p 6y agoThe magic of it is it just keeps on working. All those big changes didn't cause any instability for even once.

The features that were added in Neovim first do have a different architecture and are better designed though. However these new features only make a tiny fraction of all of Vim's features.
