For selfish reasons I'm behind neovim but I can see that it puts Bram in a bad position, which is unfortunate. He's done so much work for all of us (vim users), and ultimately this project just adds to the work he has to do (and makes it even more thankless). He'll be dealing with incompatibility issues between plugins trying to support both systems.
Ultimately, I guess he'll have to make a choice as to which codebase to support, by choosing neovim he's deserting everyone on esoteric systems. I think that may be the best outcome; Neovim becomes the new standard, Bram switches over and leaves vim to die. But then what control does he have?
It's one of those situations, it seems like a good idea, and could be a massive net win. Then again, it could also really destroy the project.
