No offense, but I was dumb enough to wonder why they put a space before ":" and thought something must be broken. Obviously, pressing q and Enter (or typing Enter) also didn't work and proved to me that this editor must have crashed in a strange way.
So every time I see vim, it reminds me about my stupidity. The meme eases the pain.
That sounds like a joke, but it's true. To clear things up, the offense was: not being able to digest cheese.
