    The separation is from a time, when some community members were unhappy with the single dictator of Vim. Reworks like multi-threading system in example lead to the new fork. The reason I switched to Neovim is 2 years ago (Edit - Note to myself: It’s been longer than 2 years…) or so, when I had a buggy and very slow experience with Vim and a few plugins to program in Rust. It might be the plugins itself that caused this issue, but it was one nontheless and is the main reason why I switched. Since then the Vimscript got revised and improved and lot of improvements were made to Vim itself. I think a bit competition is good.
