#2Awesome! I hope they keep this is, it's one of the most professional write ups I've ever seen an Open Source project so - especially a new one.
I also love that they're posting bugs to vim-dev so that they can be fixed in Vim as well.

#3It took me a few seconds to realise that "issue" in the title didn't mean "bug report", despite all the other occurrences of it in the article that do.

#4I've been immensely pleased by the professionalism and high-sense of collaboration on this project. I think ego has been kept out of the gates of Neovim. Happy Thanksvimming!

Same. "Neovim Newsletter #4: Thanksvimming Day" would be a better title.

NeoVim is an independent, parallel fork started by vim contributor Thiago de Arruda Padilha. The original fundraising page has some more background:

#8My only concern about this is that people are deprecating Vim stuff in favor of NeoVim. My experience with NeoVim is that it's not ready to replace Vim yet - I'm optimistic about NeoVim, but it's too early to start deprecating Vim stuff.

And when did you last try Neovim? Because I use it everyday with all of my plugins from vim with 0 problems. The new remote plugin system with python support is making huge strides. People have already started on Go support and I imagine JavaScript, lua, etc is not far behind. It's a very exciting time. I recently even got a commit merged, it's a great community and I've plastered my Macbook with Neovim stickers. :P

#10Regarding the bit about Floobits, it's very nice of them to mention us, we love Neovim, and all of the things said are true, but the Neovim remote plugin API recently changed and we're rushing to get our plugin to be compatible. They were nice enough to let us know in our own issue tracker so we're nearly there. Our current plugin only works with versions of Neovim prior to the remote plugin change from before last week. Note this is the new remote plugin system, not the regular python plugins that have not changed and so vim plugins have no issues.
