Damn!
I am so stupid. I haven't read your announcement saying that you are
going to work for Google. If one of the readers in this group was not
saying it almost incidentally in a reply to my question, I probably
wouldn't find out about it.
Working for Google is indeed a great honor, and they probably gave you
an 'offer you cannot refuse'. I hope you can spend some of the time you
work at Google to develop Vim, I know they let their workers do so (this
is something you know better than I am).
Any way, if you do want to continue developing Vim as a full time job I
hope you will be able to do so. It is indeed an amazing program, by now,
it is the only text editor I can use.

Sure and true, but I guess that what I am asking is how finishing
version 7 of Vim changes things in this respect. I mean, if developing
Vim version 7 is a full time job, why developing the current 7 version
and moving towards version 8 is not a full time job ? Will the fact that
you are no longer working full-time on developing Vim will slow down the
rate of development ?
Yes. I don't think I will have time for big features, like spell
checking.
