Now that he's no longer with us, I don't think comments like this are necessary.

  I just learned that he passed from Wikipedia. I remember he used to get a lot of flak on HN for not wanting to update vim, back in the days.

    Well, it works really well, most of us don't need any fancy new features, and we certainly don't want anything breaking.
    • wvlia5 7mo ago
      True. But I like Kakoune more, conceptually.
• quasarj 7mo ago
  Being dead has no impact on the truth, actually.
  • gilcot 7mo ago
    And that’s not true! He did want to keep the editor stable and available for many platforms and compatible with vi. Rejected proposals break one of these rules.
  • saila 7mo ago
    True, but the point could have been made in a more tactful way, and it didn't add anything useful to the discussion anyway.
