I'm worried about this and feel like "vim" as actively maintained software probably also died today.

  Neovim seems to be going strong. https://github.com/neovim/neovim https://github.com/neovim/neovim

    Neovim has a bit of a different mentality compared to Vim; it's not the same project. I don't really want to discus this in detail here as it's not the right location, but I think lots of people would be interested in continuing Vim, rather than having Vim being subsumed by Neovim. We'll have to see how things and the relationship between Vim and Neovim change and evolve in the coming weeks and months.

      I assume there are multiple people willing and able to continue vim development and I think it might be important for that to happen. I just thought it was relevant in the context of that comment to mention the other project.

        Whether VIM proper withers and fades away or not, Bram's legacy will live on through Neovim too.

        That's a strong assumption. There isn't an infinite amount of developers willing to sacrifice their free time for common good. I have a weaker assumption - somebody will keep maintaining it, but active feature development is in question.

    I'm still waiting for a GTK and Windows GUI as good as the one provided by vim.
