People who understand the importance of this choice but still opt for closed source software are the worst of the worst.

You won’t be able to switch to a meaningful vim if you channel your support to closed source software, not for long.

Best to put money where the mouth is.

I don't contribute to vim precisely, but I do contribute to other open source projects. So, I do like to keep this balance between making open source tools better over time and using paid alternatives. I don't think that's possible tho with LLMs at the moment (and I dont think it would be possible in the future, but ofc i could be wrong).

Until you’ve run a big open-source project you won’t quite understand how much time and energy it can eat up. All that effort won’t feed your family.
