> what is vim?

vi (visual) is the standard text editor on Unix (TM) systems.

vim (Vi IMproved) is a free program which is upward-compatible from vi
and is included (usually under the name vi) in most of the free unix
like OS (linux, FreeBSD etc) distributions.

My condolences.

Major

PS1: vi is an abomination

PS2: vim is an abomination with extra features

PS3: emacs rules!

PS4: both emacs and vim and available for those sentenced to
Microsoft doze
