This year I decided to hunker down and use vim (specifically, neovim). It has been the best decision I have made.

Using vim and thinking of the satellite of tools in my terminal as my IDE has made me a better programmer and I have a better appreciation for building on the foundation of other developers work (huge reduction in desire to invent everything myself).

So I want to thank all of you who write articles, share tips and tricks about using vim and utility programs, and especially those of you who contribute to open source software. I've learned a great deal from you all.
