    Damn, that’s sad. VIM has been a part of my software development career since the beginning. Thank you Bram Moolenaar for your invention.

    Very sad news. I have used VIM for close to 20 years. Thank you Bram Moolenaar. RIP.

    Think his tombstone has :q! on it? I love vim, I’ve used it daily for 25 years now.

        maybe his tombstone would have “ZZ” on it — he has moved on to his final rest.

    RIP Bram, from Amiga to MacOS at home, Windows and the random Linux server at work, and through all the different languages I tried out during the years, Vim was the reliable constant everywhere.
