The death of Bram Moolenaar, Vim founder and benevolent dictator for life (BDFL), in 2023 sent a shock through the community, and raised concern about the future of the project. At VimConf 2024 in November, current Vim maintainer Christian Brabandt delivered a keynote on “the new Vim project" that detailed how the community has reorganized itself to continue maintaining Vim and what the future looks like.
…Neovim anyone?
(Bless his soul, tho, that goes without saying)
I was using Vim only and didn’t want switch to Neovim. Then someday, after having performance problems in Vim, I gave Neovim a shot and switch to it. Shortly after the world was in shock when we knew Bram died. It was the day when I switched to Neovim. I feel like responsible for this.
If you have a Facebook, X or Amazon account, I hope you can find it in your heart to switch to one of their competitors. It’s worth a try.
Wish I had.
