> At least now vim shows you how to quit it if you attempt to ctrl+c it.
This has been the case for at least ten years. I started using Linux in 2009 and the first time I opened vim, I tried using ctrl-c to quit and saw that message.
Servers are usually running LTS Linux versions and I had to Google how to quit vim a few times because I forget. Same with closing a frozen SSH, I kinda know the shortcut but I am always wrong a bit so I eventually remember it or Google it again. Things I do not use often are just wiped from my memory.
