That seems like a fair response. I tend to agree that sweeping refactorings tend to take a lot of time and it's better to break off small bite size pieces. That being said I really like some of the proposed improvements into vim. I wonder if a similar approach could be taken as when vi was improved to create vim, or perhaps that's what added all the complexity Neovim is trying to solve.
