Interested in what? You haven't proposed any concrete actions or steps. Asking people to rewrite Vim - admittedly a concrete step - without giving a good reason is not something feasible. Especially given the fact that you have absolutely no guarantee that you would end up with code that would be better in any aspect than the one you have now.
