Yours is a valid concern, but maintaining (Neo)Vim plugins is a community effort. I took over the development of the ConTeXt plugin because I wanted to improve the support for ConTeXt in Vim, and at the time the plugin had no active maintainer. In the same way, an unsatisfied user might take over the development of a ConTeXt plugin for NeoVim, or maybe even for both systems. Anyone can submit a patch, and I would welcome a co-maintainer, or even someone who would like to take over. I alone simply do not have enough capacity to wet my feet in two rivers.
Indeed, if you or someone reading this would like to steer the direction of future development of those plugins, let me know!
I thank you and any/everyone in the community who contributes in an way, and of course my question was not meant as a critique of any tool or package or plugin. In fact, I do *not* use any plugin functionality such as async typesetting. I do find syntax (color) highlighting helpful, sometimes (when it works ;-) It generally presently has many problems. Neovim integrates a lua parser. Unfortunately, I believe that it is still lua 5.1. Nevertheless, it could possibly benefit from the (maintained) lpeg Context syntax parser. Getting an error message now with %@context is annoying. Hopefully, somebody on this mailing list may know and care something about this. Alan
