Damn, that’s sad. VIM has been a part of my software development career since the beginning. Thank you Bram Moolenaar for your invention.

Very sad news. I have used VIM for close to 20 years. Thank you Bram Moolenaar. RIP.
Bram, thank you to have brought vim to the world.
May you rest in peace.
RIP, Vim has been a part of my life for nearly 2 decades. Thank you Bram.
Think his tombstone has :q! on it? I love vim, I've used it daily for 25 years now.
:wq - he exited, but his work is still here
maybe his tombstone would have "ZZ" on it — he has moved on to his final rest.
RIP Bram, from Amiga to MacOS at home, Windows and the random Linux server at work, and through all the different languages I tried out during the years, Vim was the reliable constant everywhere.
May he rest in peace.
