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 UIs without modifications to the core
- Improve extensibility with a new [plugin architecture](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Plugin-UI-architecture)
For more details, see
[the wiki](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Introduction)!
