Opensource.com celebrates 25 years of Vim. "Vim is a flexible, extensible text editor with a powerful plugin system, rock-solid integration with many development tools, and support for hundreds of programming languages and file formats. Twenty-five years after its creation, Bram Moolenaar still leads development and maintenance of the project—a feat in itself! Vim had been chugging along in maintenance mode for more than a decade, but in September 2016 version 8.0 was released, adding new features to the editor of use to modern programmers."

Somewhere, I probably have Fred Fish disk 591 with the first public release on it. I've been using Vim nearly every day for most of that 25 years. Happy anniversary!

I miss those days, when floppies of software felt like treasures from the moon.
