Vim 8.0 has been released. This is the first major Vim release in 10 years.
New features include:
- Asynchronous I/O support, channels, JSON
- Jobs
- Timers
- Partials, Lambdas and Closures
- Packages
- New style testing
- Viminfo merged by timestamp
- GTK+ 3 support
- MS-Windows DirectX support
Even if Neovim never becomes status quo in the vi world, has the competition at least given Vim developers a shot in the arm?

Dude Snotnose, you just make me want to give you a hug. We feel your pain. We all have stories. You're safe with us (well.... maybe...), we commiserate.
Maybe we should go all confession-time-slash-dailywtf?
One time I spent a month wondering why my unit would run in tests but not on production hardware. Turns out the boilerplate I'd been told to "just copy over" had a Magic Number that had to be incremented each time it was copy-pasta'd. I found out through a convoluted multi-process gdb session (nothing quite like single-stepping slowly along a rotation processess, checking a set of other processes for watchpoint breaks due to IPC). When I reported it solved I got a big fat "oh you didn't just increment the magic number? that was stupid of you!" Nowhere had this been documented.
Needless to say, the company folded.
Anyone else to share some catharsis?

Sounds like they had interprocess communication figured out, but not interpersonal communication.
