"Neovim is an effort to aggressively re-factor the Vim source code and improve on:
- It will provide first class support for embedding.
- It lets you extend the editor in any programming language.
- It supports more powerful GUIs.
- Vim plugins will work with it.
Hosted on Bounty Source it has reached $25,500 of it's goal of $10,000, although there are still 3 days to reach further stretch goals! You can view the projects current progress and even pitch in over at GitHub. As someone who has started using Vim full-time over the last 6 months I feel that this is a very good project for the longevity of Vim."

Yep. Emacs is clearly superior and kicking Vi(m)'s ass.

Can NeoVim finally be the decent text editor that Emacs has been missing to be a complete OS?

Unnecessary: You can already run vim inside of emacs, by using "M-x term". Emacs will prompt you with "Run program:", and then you enter in /usr/bin/vim (or wherever you have one), and poof, you now have vim running in emacs.
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a compiler is a good guy with a compiler.

So what I need is M-x term find / -type f -name emacs | xargs rm -f ???

That's fine, as I can the type !emacs from vim, and up pops emacs.

Eight megabytes and constantly swapping? No thanks, I like my text editor lean and mean.

I sure hope so. "Lean" is about the last word that comes to mind when thinking of Vim. Gimme Nvi any day of the week (I'm even using it to type this post!)

I can still (vaguely) remember a time when 8 megabytes was a lot of memory. Like six floppies [tumblr.com].

If you've ever worked with 8-bit or 16-bit microcontrollers it still is!

Quite, hence using vim with caps lock mapped to escape. Hands never move far.
