I just now learned of DHH’s views by reading the Github discussion. I think the quote should be removed. But I do not think that, without further information, we should condemn someone for using the quote in the first place. And that is because it’s a big world, and you can’t know everything. And I at least do not investigate someone’s political positions before I quote them. If I read that DHH said "Tests are money in the bank" I might have quoted him here or on some other site. And that’s because I didn’t stop to investigate his positions before quoting him, not because I endorse his positions.
I also am not going to dismiss the work of all the other Neovim contributors and stop using it.

id be on the "dont tell me what to do" site if it wasn't a very bad quote that leaves a bad taste in my mouth for using nvim.
i would just remove the quote, own up, and move on. but then again I'm not the maintainet
