Congratulations!

>Full support for the Wayland UI

I really hope they never deprecate X11 support :) I doubt they will, but if they do, it will leave the BSDs without a good alternative.

What is “the Wayland UI,” anyway? Is this like that vim gui program that some Windows users use?

Usually vim runs I’m the terminal, so I don’t have any worries about losing support. But other people have other use-cases, of course…

Unless I'm misunderstanding the problem, Wayland is available on FreeBSD.

Those people can contribute to Xorg server further development.

The thing that kicked off this thread was hope that vim will continue to support X11. No need for continued X development really.

		On the contrary, because you will want to have those drivers when the time comes to reinstall the system with more modern hardware. Without X Server support at the OS level for the new hardware, doesn't really matter if vim supports it on its source code.

But surely not every BSD user?

		Not every BSD user, but the one you're responding to is most likely in that camp.

Why would they do that? When I started learning VIM more than 20 years ago, one of the main reason was that it (or vi) was already present and installed in every possible Linux system.
