Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:

- Simplify maintenance and encourage [contributions](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Contributing)
- Split the work between multiple developers
- Enable the implementation of new/modern user interfaces without any
  modifications to the core source
- Improve extensibility with a new [plugin architecture](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Plugin-UI-architecture)

For lots more details, see
[the wiki](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Introduction)!
