[TUHS] Fwd: Message from the family of Bram Moolenaar

[Larry McVoy]

I've used vim for a very long time, super grateful for Bram's work.  Vim
has all of the usefulness of vi and then tossed in buffers so vi wasn't
worse than emacs, I doubt I've used 10% of the stuff that he added to
vim.  For me, it was a portable vi that worked everywhere, faithful
to vi, with buffers.  I use it every day, I'm typing this email in it.

He was only 62, so sad.

He will be missed and remembered.

:help iccf

and perhaps donate in his memory, I will.
