Thanks Bram. I've been using Vim (and sometimes more recently Neovim) for over 30 years (nearly every work day of my entire career), having used `vi` on various BSD systems in school. In all that time, I've never been on the mailing list for Vim, asked a question or submitted a bug report. I've never needed to do so. Because I've never run into a bug or had a question that couldn't be answered by the built in documentation. A quality software project, lead by a quality man. You've been an inspiration.

It was 25 years ago this fall that I got a job in the IT department of my university and my boss gave me the perl and vi O'Reilly books so I could start programming on the unix servers. Like you, I've used it (and vim) every day of my career since then.

I have to agree here, I’ve worked on some tremendously complex control systems and the documentation has been so good that anytime I’ve needed info it was easy to find. I’ve also worked on relatively simple systems that have required more interrogation due to a lack of, or in one case absolutely terrible documentation.
