Could say the same thing about people working on neovim

NeoVim has a fundamentally better architecture and healthier ecosystem.

But they're separate highly maintained projects, and there will always be tradeoffs. It's like saying that Ubuntu is better than Debian, or that Fedora is better than RockyLinux.

Should stop and help with neovim

Technically, Neovim started because the author wanted to add multi-threading to Vim but the patch was rejected. So they did try to contribuir to Vim first.

Not that I agree with your parent comment or anything (I don’t), I use Helix so don’t really have a dog in this fight, I think it’s fine for them all to coexist.

I'm glad to see that Vim9 continues to make progress. The center of gravity may have shifted somewhat towards Neovim, but the Neovim ecosystem currently seems targeted towards people who want something more IDE-like. One question is: will more plugin authors move to Vim9Script? It seems that Neovim users have generally moved towards Lua-based plugins, so there's less of a motivation to produce plugins that support bo…

I'm not the target for your question (I distribute 0 plugins).

But Lua support in Neovim is the primary reason I moved over from Emacs. Elisp and Vim are both so heart sink for me.

That said I'd have preferred something other than Lua if I had the choice.

Honestly curious, what are the tradeoffs with vim9 / vimscript?

Unless I'm misunderstanding the problem, Wayland is available on FreeBSD. https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/wayland

Some people hate wayland.

Those people can contribute to Xorg server further development.
