AFAIK the creator got the inspiration from Vim, but I think the other statements about github, not mentioning vim, etc. Are just products of your imagination

  That the landing page doesn't mention vi/vim or open source is definitely a fact. Of course the reason for not mentioning vim was a product of my imagination, but actually I just wanted to say that I think it's odd for them to avoid stating the almost-obvious...

    I just clicked over and looked at the repo which answered my question. No big deal.

    > avoid stating the almost-obvious... I feel it's in the nature of communication to avoid stating the obvious and only becomes problematic when what's obvious to the sender is not to the receiver. Paradoxically while too much obviousness makes a statement banal, being the first to explicitly state what's obvious to everyone is extremely insightful... :)

    Both the "Learn more about the Kakoune philosophy" and git repo prominently state it's inspired by vim. Why are you thinking they're hiding it just because it's not on the landing page?
