Vim is my daily driver, I'm sorry to hear we've lost Bram so young.

#262Wow, the comments on Slashdot are such a train wreck. Didn't realise Slashdot had become so bad.
I'd hardly call one or two virtue signalers a "train wreck" or "so bad"
I didnt find much supporting what you claim. It's possible whatever your referring to was cleaned up. I only saw one apparently negative post, which was deleted or hidden.
I have been saddened more and more by platform after platform devolving into nonsensical bickering. I'm almost entirely off social media at this point for that reason.
Having said that, I feel it only makes it worse when people division out of proportion making hyperbolic and sweeping generalizations. I feel like being unrealistic about signal to noise ratio only empowers the trolls.

#263I took all my notes in VIM for several years in college. To this day, I use Evil mode, Tridactyl, and various other tools inspired by the modal editing that VIM so advanced, and VIM itself remains a part of my toolkit on every system I use. I expect it will always be with me in some form.
RIP, Bram.^[:x
Re: Bram Moolenaar has died
#264Vim improved and changed my life for the better more than any software except Linux itself.
I'll probably use vim (or an editor inspired by it) for the rest of my life; it's Way of editing text changes everything.
Rest in peace, Bram.

#265Earlier quoted context omitted.
Do people really not know :x == :wq ???
They are similar, but I stick to :wq. I fear mixing up :x with :X. Would probably catch the mistake when being asked to type the encryption key, but anyway
> Would probably catch the mistake when being asked to type the encryption key, but anyway
Can confirm. I have accidentally typed :X many times, but have never accidentally encrypted a file

Re: Bram Moolenaar has died
#267vim absolutely changed me as a developer. it showed me a whole different way of editing code.
