You could ask the same question about why he decided to make the async api and terminal mode incompatible with existing equivalents in neovim. Sadly, the ecosystem seems to be splitting more and more between vim and neovim.
- Yuioup 5y agoMy impression is that Bram is trying his best to outcompete neovim.
- mi_lk 5y agoThat goes without saying, and it's just unfortunate that he chooses to compete rather than collaborate
- BooneJS 5y agoCompetition is good, and it’s the reason why Neovim was created in the first place!
- Tyr42 5y agoI mean, the reason is that those async patches were just sitting in the queue for a year, and by starting Neovim, they could get them in right away. Then Bram started competing afterwards.
- bitigchi 5y agoThose patches were broken to begin with when submitted to Vim, and never got fixed until NeoVim was forked out of the blue. People generally don’t know the details of this, and blindly blame Bram.
