Dear all,

It is with a heavy heart that we have to inform you that Bram Moolenaar passed away on 3 August 2023.
Bram was suffering from a medical condition that progressed quickly over the last few weeks.

Bram dedicated a large part of his life to VIM and he was very proud of the VIM community that you are all part of.

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.
Should you wish to attend his funeral then please send a message to [e-mail]. This email address can also be used to get in contact with the family regarding other matters, bearing in the mind the situation we are in right now as family.

With kind regards,
The family of Bram Moolenaar

2. vi -- viciously insane; vim -- viciously insane masochist

My first encounter with each of vi and vim: "How do I exit this thing?!?" I switched consoles and used ps and kill, then retreated to joe and mcedit.

My daughter had the good sense to RTFM and loved vim from the start.

3. I never had a problem exiting, whether :wq or ZZ

vi and ex run in next to no memory, which is what early computers had.

A "Joy" to use once you know a bit.
