 # NixVim - A Neovim configuration system for nix
+## Development paused
+After using NixVim for a while, I've paused development on it. I think it's the
+wrong way to go about things. It was a good experiment, but all it did was stop
+me from progressing further in my own configuration because I'd have to get
+those changes onto NixVim first. It also isn't suited for a lot of
+configuration options, and honestly gets beat by using something like Fennel
+for configuration.
+
+So, for now, consider development paused. I might pick it back up in the
+future, but not until I can figure out a better way to do things.
