This is pretty funny. Especially the following: > ...you can send the author 500,000 USD$ for a custom made VIMKiller solution. You might say "Hey this gadget is super practical, and will definitely help me advance in my career, but it is maybe a little pricey." - think of this as an investment. Half a million, or learn VIM? This is a long running joke among developers/sysadmins. Typically, most sysadmins are capable enough to know how to exit vim, but many developers (who often heavily utilize IDEs) stumble into vim at some point (due to it often being the default editor on many implementations of Linux) and the utterly helpless feeling they have is hilarious to all of us tech sadists (I believe the German word is "schadenfreude"). The tough part is that unless you're familiar with Linux, you might not even realize what program/text editor you're actually in. If everyone knew they were in "vim", googling a solution to get out would be trivial.
