    RIP Bram Moolenaar: Coding world mourns Vim creator
    [10:36] schestowitz
    [10:36] schestowitz

    Vim was not the only program he wrote, but it was certainly the most widely known. A core part of the Unix credo is that everything is a file and specifically, in most cases, it's a text file. And text editors are among the most important core parts of any Unix-like operating system.

    [10:36] schestowitz

    Vim was the default text editor included with most Linux distributions. As such, Bram was the person whose code has probably touched more people than any other Linux tool except for the kernel itself which nobody except programmers directly interact with anyway.
