VIM turns twenty

It's fun, the things you run across on the 'net. As detailed by this Ars Technica article, today's the 20th anniversary of the release of VIM to the public. All I can say is hooray, and I hope it keeps going and getting better for another 20... I use this editor pretty much every day, whether for programming or systems administration, and it's a pleasure to have something that doesn't assume that you have a mouse handy, yet is still efficient to use. Didn't know that it started out on the Amiga (my first computers), and the article also points out to me that I've barely scratched the surface on this program... might just have to remedy that.
