Neovim is a refactor - and sometimes redactor - in the tradition of
Vim, which itself derives from Stevie. It is not a rewrite, but a
continuation and extension of Vim. Many rewrites, clones, emulators
and imitators exist; some are very clever, but none are Vim. Neovim
strives to be a superset of Vim, notwithstanding some intentionally
removed misfeatures; excepting those few and carefully-considered
excisions, Neovim is Vim. It is built for users who want the good
parts of Vim, without compromise, and more.
