Why do Neovim users feel the need to take down Bram and Vim? Now you are taking credit for Bram's work!
Why not make an application you love and leave everyone else alone? The community's behavior - what I see - is a deterrent to using Neovim.

That’s a baseless accusation. I’ve been using Vim for about 25 years, and over the years have contributed small changes to some of the default plugins maintained by third parties (mostly language syntax and `filetype` configuration files). I have yet to even try Neovim but I too noticed that the rate of minor version releases and new features in Vim had increased after the Neovim project got off the ground.
I am happy with bram’s work on vim and with the neovim devs and their work on neovim.
I hope my development projects fail like Moolenaar's! Vim has been extraordinarily successful for decades, possibly the top 5 or 10 FOSS projects ever (?). Citing Vim as an example of development process failure is really incredible.
However, it is also very understandable why vim was forked by the neovim devs, in my view it has been a great success. That doesn't diminish Bram Molenaars achievements and contributions to the world.
