"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."

Anything that is worth doing has been done frequently. Things hitherto

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!)
