The author and maintainer of Vim, Bram Molenaar, passed away today.
Thank you, Bram, for such a wonderful program that has stood the test of time.

Such a great loss!
The free software community will miss you, Bram. Best wishes for his family.
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.

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.
