I wonder what article that is. Vim is alive and well, and still maintained
by Bram Moolenaar (last sign of life I could gather with a quick Internet
search 2020-11-11 [1]). Now Vim is by far not as active and lively as Emacs
is, but "no clear line of succession" smells of over-simplification to me.
There are forks of vim (e.g. NeoVim), but hey, there have been important
forks of Emacs too (LucidEmacs/XEmacs). I'm not the one to decide whether
such a fork is a good thing or not, but once the fork is there, it's a
wonderful chance to learn from each other. And free software makes exactly
this possible.
So tell your article authors they should do better research :-)
