A Vim contributor vibe-coded some toy plugins, and the reaction to that is forking Vim? Sounds like throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

  Not plugins: https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/18800#issuecomment-3568099543 https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/18800#issuecomment-3568099...

    That's an unfounded accusation being presented as proof.

      unfounded? They suddenly started using LLMs, their activity shot up, and the number of breaking changes did as well. That's pretty obvious to me. We're not in a court of law, the standard isn't "beyond a reasonable doubt".

    Drew complains about plugins made by a #4 contributor who is also a member of the Vim organization on GitHub. This complaint is about someone who is currently #11 and is not in the GitHub org. If that contributor regularly makes low-quality contributions, it is worth investigating by the Vim team, but at first glance, those might just be teething problems that are unavoidable when adding a major feature to a widely used and highly configurable app.
