From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oh wow this so sad. Ever since I used vimtutor the first time, Ive used vim keys in every editor I used. Hopefully the project keeps doing well without him, its a great piece of software.
My entire life has vim key bindings. My window manager and browser all have vim key bindings. I work in vim. I write my shopping lists in vim.
I really can't overstate how ingrained vim is in my day to day life. Bram had a big impact.
Same here OP
Bram will be missed. ✊🏾 :wq
Me too. I've used vim to make my living for at least the last 20 years.
I hope it ultimately re-organizes as more of a community effort now like neovim.
I don't want to sound like an asshole but maybe we all should focus on Neovim from now on. I find in much better than original Vim in many ways.
