#33Wow that hits rather hard actually. I never knew him other than through the welcome message on Vim, but he made one of the tools I rely on the most in my daily life.
Thanks Bram, have a good afterlife.

#38Rest In Peace.
VIM is still among my top used editors. And Bram was the one that made sure it kept improving and being useful for all those years, since I first used it on my Slackware install.

#39Goofing around with Vim as a quiet "rebellion" to my professor demoing EMACs went much further than the joke I started it as - it became a gateway drug to me using the terminal for almost everything and understanding how computers work at a much lower level.
Thank you Bram for the work you put into Vim!
