If you want to honour his memory, you know that Vim was actually charityware? Please, donate! https://iccf-holland.org/

I have used the Windows version of vim in my daily work.

I've used Vim for almost 20 years on machines large and small. I fondly remember porting it to Plan 9 when I was a student.
I feel indebted to Bram Moolenaar for creating and leading the Vim community. He gave us a gift and he will be remembered.

In 2000 I moved from AmigaOS to Debian/x86. Went through countless editors. And one of my Amiga friends told me "learn (g)Vim".
Learning process involved lot of cursing. But I learnt. Then added scripts, own settings and used Vim on everything. From Linux palmtop (Sharp Zaurus) to desktops, servers and devboards.
Donated to ICCF at the moment when sending money abroad did not ate donation.
Thanks Bram for giving me the editor to do my FOSS work.

Bram's phenomenal commitment will be an inspiration for years to come in the open source world and everywhere else.

Faster than all the editors out there yet so much feature packed.
Rest in Peace, dear Bram. Your life's work is done.

When that ended, I picked `nedit` since it was the least painful for me to migrate to (wysiwyg, bonus for syntax highlighting), and kept going.
Hated `vi` throughout college, could not understand why anyone would put up with something like that... :)
Got my first sysadmin job, and my boss had me install a bunch of Solaris machines from scratch. The only editor shipping on the Solaris boot CD at the time was `vi`, so I proceeded to work through my first day on the job with gnashed teeth.
A day or two later, I found myself typing ":wq" into `nedit`... :D
Been a `vim` user ever since (approaching 20-ish years now).
Godspeed Bram, hope to meet you on the other side.
