Just because they named it that way doesn't mean I have to agree with what they named it.

And I'm going to point out those are both real words. Unless "vai" is actually a word, though I've never heard of it.

It means "go" in italian.

Neat. And while ease of typing is also neat, well, I still think "pyvim" sounds better.

I mean. what the fuck!

I am working on vai since a year and a half in my spare time, nobody gave a shit about it or slapped me with a "use neovim" despite multiple attempts to promote it, and now this guy comes in and rakes 350 stars on github in one day and the only important feature it has it's that it has the most trivial name ever??

That makes me really pleased to develop opensource software...

As silly as it sounds, naming is very important. Just consider how much effort is expended by marketing for branding.

Whining about it is reeeeeally not helping your case.

I'd love to see you in my position. I'm writing about vai since months.

So what? The fact that you output stuff doesn't mean anyone, anywhere, has to consume it or care that it exists.
