vim with mouse frustrates the hell out of me.
Just give me basic vi, or a complete editor
A 2007 article from sourceforge.net and it's not even throwback Thursday.

Tangentially related, I wish more websites and blogs looked like this now. It's elegant and modern but simple.
Breaks Firefox's reader mode.
Looks like dog shit on mobile.
I agree that this general style is good, just without some of this page's fuckups.
Lacks centering, other than that I also found it enjoyable to look at.
To me, the justified text makes it an effortful read.
Yup, I hope every one agrees to leave proper justified text to LaTeX/ConTeXt/Typst/<your_favorite_typesetting_software>, doing such thing for HTML is still ugly and makes things harder to read
Github mirror + some bugfixes

:x is a vim feature, so this wouldn't support it, so you'll have to use :wq instead.
or ZZ to save and exit
