Happy "I Love Free Software" Day! ❤️🎉
Today, we celebrate Free Software and the incredible communities that make it possible. And what better occasion to express our gratitude to the Vim, Neovim, BusyBox Vi, and all Vi-related projects—a dedicated group of developers, maintainers, and users who continue to redefine what a text editor can be!
Vi and its descendants have stood the test of time, evolving into powerful, efficient, and customizable tools that developers, sysadmins, and writers rely on every day. Whether it's the legendary Vim, the modern and extensible Neovim, or the lightweight BusyBox Vi, these projects embody the spirit of freedom, flexibility, and innovation in software. The work we do as a community—enhancing these editors, maintaining plugins, refining documentation, and welcoming new users—is something to be proud of!
On this special day, let’s take a moment to reflect on the impact of Free Software and the people who build it. The FSFE’s "I Love Free Software" campaign (fsfe.org) reminds us why open-source contributions matter, and posts like this one show the passion behind our work. And of course, we can never say thank you enough to Bram Moolenaar and everyone who has shaped Vim and its ecosystem over the years
To all contributors, maintainers, and users of Vim, Neovim, BusyBox Vi, and every Vi-inspired editor: your work matters, and today, we celebrate you! 🚀💚
