I ashamed to say that I expected this comment.
I've used vim every single day at work for 12 years. With the kids I rarely do at the weekends but I happened to be setting up my .vimrc on a relatively recent laptop this afternoon. Big impact on my life for a guy whose name I never knew until 2 minutes ago.
I use Vim since 31 years. Started in 1992, on Amiga with Fred Fish disks. I use Vim daily at work since 20 years. It's like a second home for me, a familiar tool which makes me confident that it'll help me manage whatever task I throw at it. I never had the pleasure to encounter Bram to tell him how much his work helped me throughout the years. I should have sent a "thank you for your hard work" mail when it was still possible. Now I can only send condolences. And some money to the ICCF. That's the least I can do.
Whenever I find myself on a system without vim I feel like an armless boxer
He was just 62.. That's still early ☹️
rest in peace
They finally worked out how to exit this realm?
I do wonder if he enjoyed the jokes about quitting VIM. What a legend. RIP. 62 is too young.
Thank you for helping me create/edit all those files.

RIP

Sad news, 62 is way too early. I've been using Vim and the Vim modes/plugins of various IDEs (currently IntelliJ) for many years now, so I'm going to donate to ICCF in his memory.
:wq Bram, rest in piece.
Rest in peace, legend. o7

RIP, I use vim every day.
Not everyone gets to leave a legacy like vim. Effectively the notepad and pen of computing. RIP
Your legacy will live on. I use VIM for most coding and am very appreciative of this man ✊
Damn. It feels bad even though I never met this man in person. RIP legend!! :'(
he did just :q! ):
Wow! Donations to children of Uganda was about 68k in 2018, and 78k in 2019. That's awesome. I guess this is a good time as any to donate.
Nano user here but I still appreciate all the Vim work and it's a pity that the world lost such a talended person. RIP.
Try micro! It’s like nano but better.
:wqa
:wq
a God speed! Thanks for the edits.wq
Each time I tried to switch to an IDE, I returned to Vim after a few days. Nothing compares to it, and vim-modes always seem nerfed to me. RIP
This man changed the way I develop software. He has made an indelible mark on software development that will continue for decades to come.
RIP o7
:q!
I just started using vim binding seriously a year ago and using vim generally to work with code. I'm so grateful for his (and everyone else's work) on this product. I can only hope that my software can make such an impact on the world.
Rest in peace. He did good work and I hope he found solace in the fact that his legacy will live on after him.
How many times has this been reposted? Either way, RIP, even though I don't use vim.
Not enough, this is my first time hearing
Vim was my first editor before switching to emacs, thanks to him for making such a great software
The author of emacs had a way better funeral
This is not a competition
Wow. Are you a chatbot? You surely have a way of expressing your non-sentient emotion.
I thought it was a joke about how people are always fighting over vim vs emacs.
We all know that nano had a more basic funeral than both, though it was easy to work with as the instructions were laid out. (Jk)
