exit-vim A Vim plugin that will automatically close Vim on startup. Vim is scary. Here are 7 FACTS that YOU DIDN'T KNOW about Vim that will SHOCK you: • Science has proven that Vim is harder to quit than smoking cigarettes. • Black holes trap all matter that passes beyond their event horizon using Vim. • Maya Angelou wrote "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" when she was trying to get out of Vim. • Vim either voted for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, whoever you liked less. • Vim only supports the arrow keys, not WASD. • The popular 2017 thriller "Get Out" was inspired by Jordan Peele trying to exit Vim. • Vim prefers T-Series.

A screenshot-style parody advertisement for the “exit-vim” plugin claims it automatically closes Vim on startup. It humorously presents absurd “facts” about Vim, exaggerating how difficult the editor is to quit and referencing smoking, black holes, Maya Angelou, the 2016 election, gaming controls, the film “Get Out,” and T-Series. People send it as a reaction to Vim’s notoriously confusing exit commands or to joke about being trapped in a terminal editor.
