I miss him. He helped me get on board with vim and mutt.
Even tho' he was younger than I, he had more forehead.
Well, what the heck, you can't have hair and brains both
and boy did he ever have brains.
My condolences to his family and loved ones and also to
all those whose life he made better.
A very good article has been published by the Heise Verlag (probably the
best computer related publisher in the world):

It is in German, auto-translation works OK.

I don't remember him that way. He spent some time to elaborate answers.

So I will never meet the guy in person :(.
I remember me in the '90s reading all the emails from Sven just
because the expertise of the awsers he gave was excellent but
most importantly: the quality of the answers demonstrated his
Never met Sven, but I have appreciated his work in VIM for some time. I was
very sad to see this news. Thoughts and prayers to Sven, his friends, and
family.

I remember a number of interactions with Sven, in email and in various
newsgroups, and he was always courteous, and generous with his time.
He'll be missed.
Bram, I like your idea to dedicate release 9 to his memory.

Very sad.
I remember how he would always be very helpful and extremely knowledgeable,
but didn't suffer fools gladly, back in the late 90's and early 00's. I

Taken too soon.

He went to a hospital, but surgeons could not do much for him.
At the end of January he was moved to a Hospice.
