On the sad news of Bram Moolenaar's passing, I've been thinking about vim and the role it's played in my life. vim is among my oldest friendships. I've used vim longer and more than any other piece of software I can think of. Young me used the young vim on Amiga more than three decades ago, and every computer since has had vim.
