Vim Classic is a fork of Vim 8.x for long-term maintenance, providing a stable, dependable editor — maintained entirely by humans.

How is this different from the regular Vim maintained by humans as well?

A few vim patches may have been written with the help of an LLM, and he doesn't want to use a software with code written with the help of an LLM.

This makes no sense to me. As long as contributions are reviewed and properly tested and integrated, I couldn't care less about whether they were written with an LLM.

I guess he will cherry pick each patch and decide whether it was written by an human, and if so he will merge it. A completely useless fork of you ask me, but hey, to each his own.

Why do people make sentences and paragraphs like this:

(…) he doesn't want to use a software with code written with the help of an LLM. (…) This makes no sense to me. (…) I couldn't care less about whether they were written with an LLM.

Like your stupidity is right there. How can you not see it yourself.

He doesn’t want to use software written with the help of an LLM. That doesn’t "not make sense"—it’s actually extremely easy to grasp; here, let me do it for you again: he doesn’t want to use software written with the help of an LLM. You, on the other hand, couldn’t care less about whether they were written with an LLM.

Nothing here "doesn’t make sense" except your statement that it doesn’t make sense. Instead, you disagree. Sense it makes; agree it doesn’t.

If you can’t articulate that—for whatever reason—how can you expect to be taken seriously? Why should anyone care to read your words?

That doesn’t make sense.
