Hi neovim community!

After recieving quite a number of issues and criticism as feedback I decided to re-write the plugin.

Why needs a re-write:

Some issues defines the unstable behaviour in rendering mechanism, specially when combining with file system mutation and status columns. After carefully looking at the problem I found that approach of rendering was not scalable due to lack of synchronization lock and asynchronous event handling.
Wrong order of file system operation inside mutation.
As this plugin claims for flexibility over configuration options which I was failed to deliver (such as configuration on instance level, window kind level and global level).
To complete future addons like SSH.

Why it took so much time start the re-write:

I graduated last year and was looking for a job so I didn't have the time even review and accepts PRs.
Before re-write I need a solid foundation instead of copying out most of the things from previous codebase (there will be no point of re-write then).

Now that I managed to built a solid foundation rest of the development will be quicker. I will try my best to complete this re-write this month (but no promise).

Thank you for supporting this project and sorry IF I SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER CEO :)
