It's pretty cool that vim has had the same lead developer running the project for nearly 20 years.
It's also pretty cool how he asks for donations to be sent to nonprofits instead of himself.
I know this is irrelevant to the new release, but I think it's great that he still keeps it going after 20 years without any monetary gain (at least directly from the project).
- graywh 16y agos/lead// Bram is the one and only developer of Vim.
- Calamitous 16y agoAgreed. It shouldn't surprise me, but it still does every time Vim has a new release. What's more, it's awesome that new releases still bring new functionality to the table.
- bajsejohannes 16y agoWhere the money goes depends on whether he has a job or not. Currently he works at Google, so it goes to a non-profit, but it has gone to him in the past. http://www.vim.org/sponsor/index.php http://www.vim.org/sponsor/index.php
