I use Vim pretty much exclusively and work on Linux and Windows. It does have a constant stream of upgrades and fixes but the core functionality hasn't changed in any noticeable way in years. However Vim already has much more functionality than I will ever use; since I only know a small subset of what it can already do I don't really notice new features as they are added. The only time I can remember discovering a new feature in Vim and then actually using it is with "undo branches" and apparently (I just checked) this feature was released in 2006. Typically if I think that I want Vim to have some or other feature I find after a quick search that Vim already has several ways of doing what I want. There is also an active community writing third-party plugins for Vim and this is probably where the bulk of significant new features are developed.
