These days NeoMutt really is a fork, with a complete code-re-indent, function name changes, etc.[1] They move fast, deviating from Mutt and no longer submit patches to Mutt. It remains to be seen where both projects end up, IMO. It is no longer feasible to add features from NeoMutt to Mutt, and Mutt moves along its own path (with features/improvements) as well. For now it seems useful to me to have both mutt and neomutt around. I sent my detailed comments on the neomutt ebuild to Nicholas off-list already. The changes suggested should show even more how the two are different.
