Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:
- Simplify maintenance and encourage [contributions](CONTRIBUTING.md)
- Split the work between multiple developers
- Enable the implementation of new/modern user interfaces without any
modifications to the core source
- Improve extensibility with a new [plugin architecture](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Plugin-UI-architecture)
For lots more details, see
[the wiki](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Introduction)!

features. The money goes to Uganda anyway.
