Additionally, neovim has gone through a huge code cleanup. Something vim will not do because they want to maintain infinite backwards compatibility. Many old builds have been dropped and a number of important things have started using libraries (libvterm just an example of this). In theory this won't change the functionality, but may, long term, improve stability. It's also nice that we aren't relying on one person to keep the project going. Bram is very dedicated, but when his response to "How can the community ensure that the Vim project succeeds for the foreseeable future?" is "Keep me alive", that doesn't say anything great about the project.
