I had the privilege of interacting with Bram a few times through Github and he was always fast, thoughtful, and pragmatic. I know others who would say the same thing. His software will always be one of my favorites of all time.

I had one time indirect contact and confirm this. Polite, direct and helpful. Vim is reliable which is seldom.

And Moolenaar did care about other people. See his help for Uganda.

I always appreciated his charity work. Seeing that banner on vim was the first time I realized that I could apply my coding skills and turn around and give money to charity and have a real impact in the world.
The films Grandma's Boy and Nacho Libre come to mind, too.
