    [$] Forking Vim to avoid LLM-generated code

    Description:
    Many people dislike the proliferation of Large Language Models (LLMs) in recent
    years, and so make an understandable attempt to avoid them.
    That may not be possible in general, but there are two new forks of Vim that seek to provide an editing
    environment with no LLM-generated code. EVi focuses on being a modern Vim without LLM-assisted contributions, while Vim Classic focuses on providing a long-term maintenance
    version of Vim 8. While both are still in their early phases,
    the projects look to be on track to provide stable alternatives as long as enough people are interested.
