Very sad. Like others here, vim is a huge part of my work. I even use qutebrowser for vim keys. From what I understood, he was the primary developer and gatekeeper for vim. I wonder if he had plans in place for when he was going to retire
He had publicly stated that keeping him alive was the only succession plan.
He might have been kidding though.
I’m curious as well. Maybe I will re-consider neovim.
For my machines, I switched to NeoVim a while ago. There were certain instances when editing large files that Vim would lag and NeoVim doesn’t. But I manage a lot of systems that are not my systems, so I use Vim on those.
