Isn't this the case with Vim, too?
Perhaps an amazing text editor is a project that's easily given to being a one-man-show. A single developer writing code and then thinking, "I need to make myself a better tool than this".
- mapleoin 13y agoNo. Vim is opensource and developed by a community.
- coldtea 13y agoNope. Technically correct (it is open source), but Vim in reality is mostly a one man show, 90% developed by Bram.
- karls 13y agoIt doesn't look like it's the case with Vim - https://github.com/neovim/neovim https://github.com/neovim/neovim The wiki gives a good overview of the problems with current Vim https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Introduction#problem https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Introduction#problem
- andrey-p 13y agoI read about Neovim on HN when the developer (Thiago de Arruda) was crowdfunding it to make it his full time job. I remember Bram had refused (ignored?) a few pull requests from Thiago, which is one of the reasons for Neovim. I was wondering whether Neovim would end up as a one-man endeavour too, but it seems like a pretty lively project with loads of other people involved - I'm really looking forward to seeing where it goes next.
