@nixCraft, that's so sad to hear, even if I still don't know how to exit VIM.

@nixCraft Thank You for this fantastic piece of software. You have written computer history.

anarchyinc,

@nixCraft comfort and thoughts to friends, family, and community.

rhempel,

@nixCraft - I have used vi for over 40 years, and vim is usually the first thing that gets installed on any new computer I use.

Bram was not just the lead for vim development, he also moved forward the idea of multiple scripting language support in the editor.

On top of that, he was a first class philanthropist that didn't just throw money at a problem, he was on the ground making sure that our contributions to his fund got right where they were needed.

The world has lost a bright light.

iagondiscord,

@nixCraft Rest in peace...

@nixCraft How sad to hear, some of our heroes are getting to be that age I suppose. Show https://www.iccf-holland.org/index.html some love, even if you hate Vim. :x
