Why it's listed

Neovim is listed in code editors because it competes on utility: vim, refactored for the next 30 years. It's community-maintained open source: the incentive is the tool itself. Licensed Apache-2.0/Vim; pricing: free / donations. Technically it's lean — it runs comfortably on modest hardware, which is exactly the proof-of-work efficiency we rank for. This entry is provisional — the scores are seeded estimates pending our full manual rubric pass, and the verification date will appear here once complete.
