they probably mean GUI app like GVim and MacVim
I personally wish they'd resurrect elvis
I loved using it to write and browse my html files. It can do troff too <3

Couldn't have come at a better time for those who are affected by their IT departments removing access to Notepad++.
That’s an interesting thought. I don’t believe that Vim’s modal system will be to their taste, but makes me curious if anyone has put together a collection of useful text editing macros for Vim similar to what Notepad++ offers. Typically, I just pipe the output of my buffer to external commands to apply similar transformations that Notepad++ offers out of the box, but I would think the same would be challenging to do…
do you mean http://cream.sourceforge.net/

Now that he's no longer with us, I don't think comments like this are necessary.
Being dead has no impact on the truth, actually.
And that’s not true! He did want to keep the editor stable and available for many platforms and compatible with vi. Rejected proposals break one of these rules.

True, but the point could have been made in a more tactful way, and it didn't add anything useful to the discussion anyway.
Re: Vim 9.2
#196I love Vim. I have been using it since the days of DOS and appreciate its amazing compatibility. Since those DOS days, I have been using my vimrc, which I am constantly improving. Today, it is 83 KB and still works, which is fantastic! Over the years, I have tried various other editors and IDEs, including neovim, but nothing beats Vim. Today, I know that I will be with it until I die. It is an amazing piece of software. With version 9.2, it has improved again, and I am delighted with the vertical panel and autocompletion in the search bar. The only thing missing for complete perfection is full-fledged modal dialog boxes.

Could say the same thing about people working on neovim
NeoVim has a fundamentally better architecture and healthier ecosystem.
Maybe, but Vim has tradition and backward compatibility, a better target, and fast vim9script. Neovim doesn't suit me. The aggressiveness of Neovim users constantly surprises me. Go to the Neovim forum and leave me alone. I don't go to Neovim forums to convince users that Vim is better.

Yet you just went and created a new (burner?) acc just to post this absolute tripe here.

Do you know why it was rejected?
It’s been too long, I no longer recall specifics. Wikipedia links to the patch’s discussion on Google Groups, if you care to read it. https://groups.google.com/g/vim_dev/c/65jjGqS1_VQ/m/fFiFrrIB... Vim 8 did add support for asynchronous jobs, due to the pressure of Neovim fork. https://lwn.net/Articles/713114/
And did so in its (or rather Bram's) own, incompatible with Neovim way. I imagine that's the biggest problem with Vim why Neovim was even created - hardcore NIH syndrome of Vim's main author.
