Vim is a text editor first released by Bram Moolenaar in 1991 for the Amiga computer. The name "Vim" is an acronym for "Vi IMproved"[2] because Vim was created as an extended version of the vi editor, with many additional features designed to be helpful in editing program source code.
While Vim is cross-platform, it is most popular on Unix-like operating systems.[3]
Released under a software license compatible with the GNU General Public License, Vim is free and open source software. The program's license includes some charityware clauses.[4]
