Yea, I mentioned this in a reply earlier... really sad that he was so [sic] 
young. :/ Also, while Vim seems OK for now it's future isn't fully concrete - 
while Christian and the other guy are taking care of current issues, we don't 
even know if they'll regain access to the FTP [and other] servers, change them 
or continue at all. I'm sure they'll iron things out - but... sad day.

And I just switched over; viva Bram! Also, he never asked for money for his 
software, but did ask for donations to his favorite charity - a group that 
feeds children in Africa. If you use Vim, love Vim or want to support Bram - 
make a small donation to the ICCF in Vim/Bram's name;
