@nixCraft@mastodon.social RIP. I've always loved vim. My deepest sympathies.

@nixCraft How sad to hear, some of our heroes are getting to be that age I suppose. Show iccf-holland.org/index.html some love, even if you hate Vim. :x

@nixCraft My first activity on every newly install vm:

apt install vim
apt remove nano

RIP Bram!

@nixCraft this is sad news. Bram will be missed. His work on vim will survive for years to come. The free software community is in mourning.

Wow, sad indeed. Once had a nice talk to him :(

@nixCraft apparently it is possible to exit vim

RIP Bram 😥
