The only reason Neovim project exists in the first place is to act as a safeguard against the bus factor issues that might arise in the Vim proper.

It also exists because the vim BDFL refused to merge some patches, notably async (vim did get async after it was proven a success in neovim). Since the fork neovim has modernized and cleaned up the codebase, and has an ambitious feature roadmap which includes adding Lua as a plugin language and adding APIs for external GUIs.
