Pretty much any program I use I try to shift over to vim style keys. This guy's reach went far beyond vim to me.

This news hit me hard this morning. Bram's work has directly benefited my career for decades. He was a good human being who did good things. RIP Bram

R.I.P. Bram.

I use VIm every day, I enjoy using it, I am still in awe when discovering stuff, still after 17y!

RIP and thanks for all the hard work I've benefited from over the last decade.

I'll think of this man while explaining vim to my new hire next week.

That's very sad to hear. Bram had a significant impact on me and how I use my computer. Rust zacht, Bram.

He has left his mark in a way that few are able to

RIP Bram Moolenaar, and my condolences to his family

We as family are now arranging the funeral service of Bram which will take place in The Netherlands and will be held in the Dutch lanuage. The extact date, time and place are still to be determined.

Hmm.
