> because they believe it splits the Vim community and takes people power away from Vim development

I don't understand this point, and I tried to parse it and still don't. (I understand that you are just relaying it).

If vim maintainers don't want neovim to exist, they should have accepted the merges earlier. If they disagree with the merges (which I think they did), then that power doesn't belong in Vim anyways.

edit: this reminds me of this conversation from years ago

And finally before I derail, I want to bring stuff back to the focus: RIP Braam.
