Vim has been with me all my adult life. I can't imagine using a computer without installing vim at one point or another. It's like an old Swiss army knife you can't live without.

Come to think of it, this man has had a lot more impact on my life than almost anybody else and I didn't even realize it.

Thank you Bram.

I used VIM for years and more recently Neovim. Much of my livelihood is enabled by his work and who knows how many have had their lives positively impacted from his raising of awareness for children in need.

Thank you, Bram. :wq
