VIM got fork: Neovim

Heise.de reports (German) that VIM has got a fork. The name of the new fork is Neovim. The site at the moment has only two things: link to donation site and link to Github repo.

I do not approve of redundant forks. But IMHO VIM source code is in dire need of clean up.

Bram doesn't approve. Discussion on the vim_dev group.

In the end, we'll see in couple of years whether the people behind Neovim have what it takes.
