  • Vim Boss – Neovim

    You are stating these things as though they were established facts. But they seem to be opinions. Or do you have data to back them up?

    > People who are new to vim-style-editors and go to neovim are mainly people who would have gone to vim if neovim didn't exist.

    It seems reasonable to assume that a lot of new people would not pick up either Vim or Neovim without LSP integration and Tree-sitter.

    Vim has adopted a lot of the early features of Neovim and now Vim9 also has virtual text for rendering LSP diagnostics in the buffer[1] and there is a Vim9 LSP plugin too. But it does not at all seem likely that Vim would have these things were it not for the push from Neovim.

    Besides, it looks like Vim still does not have mature support for Tree-sitter.[2]

    > Well, the prevalent wisdom of 30+ years of FOSS has been that they're mostly bad.

    There are many famous forks from the past 30 years that hardly anybody calls bad. Some examples: Net/Free/OpenBSD, GNU/XEmacs, Open/LibreSSL. These projects allowed people with different goals or values to carry on in their own directions, while also motivating each other to pick up development pace. They have often also shared code with each other.

  • Bram: "Neovim has included Treesitter, which is an implementation of this. Once Vim9 is done I'll have a look at whether it is a good choice to include with Vim"
