I don't remember when I found vim or how, but I emailed myself the vim book download link 19 years ago[1]. I've installed it at work on my Windows machines, tried to convince coworkers to use it, enthused about it online, played https://www.vimgolf.com/ https://www.vimgolf.com/ , answered a few vim questions on Stack Exchange sites, and recognised Bram Moolenaar's name for years from the splash screen.
RIP.

[ There are only three names which have been deeply burned into my memory from splash screens; Bram Moolenaar from Vim, Sohrab Ismail-Beigi from Gravity Wars which I played as a kid https://archive.org/details/GravityWars_1020 https://archive.org/details/GravityWars_1020 ( https://ia802805.us.archive.org/16/items/5_Plus_One_-_Gunship/09_gravity_wars_title.png https://ia802805.us.archive.org/16/items/5_Plus_One_-_Gunshi... )) and H.
