Thank you Bram for the great text editor you brought to this world and the many carreers you changed by it.

I wonder how many weeks of my life have been saved over the years by using vim instead of a slower editor...

Almost 20 years ago I decided that I would check out the famous emacs and vim editors to then choose one. Never got to try emacs... Thanks Bram! You will never be forgotten.

Just use emacs with evil-keybindings and you get the best of both worlds
