A sad day. I hope someone will pick up VIM to continue his great work. :q!

That's sad to hear.

I met him a few times when we were both in Zurich, he was inspiring to listen to on the subject of open source--as you would expect.

:q! indeed. VIM is truly great software and my most used program. Thank you Bram

Vim is the first thing i install on an OS, and i rush to set EDITOR in the shell's config. Can't do nothing without it.

:wq Bram
