As a vim user for many years, I'm also glad to see this project take off, and will give it a spin soon.
Just curious, how is this project being received by Bram Moolenaar, the creator (and BDFL I believe) of vim?

- oblio 12y agoWith a bit of luck we'll have a gcc/egcs situation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Compiler_Collection#History http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Compiler_Collection#History). Basically GCC was falling behind, a fork called EGCS was a lot better after a while and at a certain point GNU just dropped the old GCC and adopted EGCS as the official GCC. Of course, Neovim first has to make a release for this to happen. And Bram has to let go of the legacy platforms (sorry Amiga!). He can support them via older Vim versions, I don't think it would be a problem for anybody...
