In light of Bram's passing, I thought I should mention how vim has been a part of my life. It's been my preferred text editor (and the text editor for my mail client, mutt) for 25 years.

It's even more significant as an author, because all twelve of my published books, all of my other book contributions, and a decade of monthly columns for Linux Journal magazine were all written in vim. My most recent two books were written *and* formatted in vim using LaTeX. Thank you Bram.
