Vim was stable when Neovim forked it and although it's certain that Vim had bugs which had never been addressed, it's not the case that every bug needs squished before a stable Neovim is released.\r\n\r\nIt's also not necessary that Neovim has every feature that we want in order to hit `1.0`.  I think that it could be released with small incremental changes towards the goal rather than waiting years for some huge set of features to be released.\r\n\r\nIt's been 15 months and this is a _huge_ undertaking.  There has been massive progress thus far, but not releasing a `1.0` is also affecting adoption.  Neovim will only ever be great if people start migrating from Vim to Neovim.  And the majority of people aren't going to do that until it hits `1.0`.\r\n\r\nI'm not saying that Neovim should release `1.0` before it's ready.  I'm saying that I think the core team needs to reevaluate what \"ready\" means.  The needle on the [first release](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/milestones/first%20release) milestone barely moves.\r\n\r\nI also realize that I'm saying this as someone who hasn't written a line of code toward Neovim's completion.  This is simply because I know zero about C.  (Although I did back the original BountySource campaign)  However I do say this as someone who uses Vim every day and I see what it _can_ be and I think that Neovim is its best hope at becoming even more amazing than it already is.\r\n\r\nI'm going to throw out that I think getting `1.0` out the door by the end of the year would be an excellent step.  And at that point releasing a minor release every month (with whatever features are complete at the end of the four weeks) until we hit `2.0` and we deprecate some Vim backwards compatibility."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/neovim/neovim/issues/comments/145388686","html_url":"https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/2907#issuecomment-145388686","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/neovim/neovim/issues/2907","id":145388686,"user":{"login":"jfelchner","id":285582,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/285582?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfelchner","html_url":"https://github.com/jfelchner","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfelchner/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfelchner/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfelchner/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfelchner/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfelchner/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfelchner/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfelchner/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfelchner/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfelchner/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-10-04T21:22:43Z","updated_at":"2015-10-04T21:22:43Z","body":"Really excited to see this release getting closer :grinning: \r\n\r\nI also love that you all don't close issues that aren't done just to keep the tracker \"clean\"."}}
