What is vim?
Vim is an advanced text editor that seeks to provide the power of the Unix editor vi with a more
complete feature set. Vim is useful whether a user is already using vi or using a different editor.
Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing. It is an improved version
of the vi editor distributed with most Unix systems. It is perfect for all kinds of text editing, from
composing email to editing configuration files.
