A person is lucky to do one thing that affects a huge number of people’s lives for the better, and even luckier if they know what it was and have been appreciated for it. Well done, Bram.

It’s difficult to compute the additional world domestic product that was created due to vim, to compute the impact one person had on… everything.

A very sad day.

I use it now as part of ranger file manager. Such a great text editor and all I use it for is editing config files.

Dark humour aside, sad to hear this. Vim is my favorite text mode editor; the contribution he has made to the open source world, as well as his charity work for Ugandan AIDS victims, will not be forgotten.
