    A lot of the comment’s I’ve seen everywhere over this news is “exiting vim” out of respect and admiration. They aren’t being disrespectful but honoring the legacy that he fostered, and remembering the hard parts of his software.

      There’s a difference between making a vim reference and “oh, a mourning family message? quick, i must find a stale joke to crack for internet points”

      Feel free to tell yourselves this is respectful. I think some people here have been on the internet for too long.
