I think Vim is a kind of piece of software that I found fabulous when I first migrated to Linux.

At first I had to deal with Vi, but I quickly discovered #Vim which was a lot more powerful.

Message from the family of Bram Moolenaar

@solene Interesting factoid, Vim (version 4.5!) was part of the OpenBSD base system up until the 2.2 release (1997), and then it was moved to ports in '98.

Sad to hear of Bram's passing.
