A very nice person with a fullfilling life

After watching the google techtalk 7 habit for effective text editing, I am quite impressive by the speaker, Bram Moolenaar, the author of VIM.
He started the VIM project when he was a programmer on image processing algorithms. In order to finish VIM 7.0, he quit his job and got supported solely by donation from VIM supporters. Eventually, google hired him and now he can work on VIM as a full time job.
The talk itself is about how forming an effective habit of editing:
1) find inefficiency (e.g. search a key word, open a network file)
2) find a fast way to do it (he used vim as example, but it can be generalized to any editor)
3) train yourself to use the fast way, again and again to form a habit.

So overall I learned a few nice vim tricks and started appreciating how powerful it can be. Near the end of the talk, when answering a question about donations, Bram said since he no longer needs the donation to survive, he is directing all the vim donation to a charity to help children in Uganda.

When I finish watching the talk, I thought. What a wonderful life! He has made at least two big legacies (VIM and the charity project). Both benefit people in need. And he is highly effective in doing both.
