    Calling it a code editor is like calling my car a “work transport vehicle”

    Vim is an all purpose text-editing machine and although it has some definite quirks it solves problems. If you’ve used original vi you’ll know just how much more amazing vim is without changing the core concepts.

    Much love to Bram, you made the world a better place ❤️
