Odd to express narcissism in response to this question.
I have no idea whether NeoVim is going in the right direction but the feeling you get from this response is that Bram is focused on guarding his turf rather than thinking constructively about how to move Vim forward.
- rbonvall 12y agoI'm sure it was just a playful response. In case anyone doesn't know, this is Vim's license: ”Vim is Charityware. You can use and copy it as much as you like, but you are encouraged to make a donation for needy children in Uganda.” Hard to believe the guy is narcissistic at all :)
- razammataz 12y agoNote that Bram is the treasurer of said charity. You can read their latest financial report here: http://iccf-holland.org/jaarrekening2013en.pdf http://iccf-holland.org/jaarrekening2013en.pdf
- x0x0 12y agoand note this: We aim at very low costs. The goal is to limit the costs to 5% of the revenue. The revenue and expenses show that the costs in 2013 were only 0.5% of the total revenue. This is within the goal by a large margin. The largest parts of the costs are unavoidable banking costs. That is an exceptionally frugal charity; lots of charity monitoring sites seem to think that over 80% is doing well.
- noir_lord 12y agoIncredible, I don't use Vim very much (once in a while) but I think I'll make a donation when I get paid just for the times when I do.
