The 7th most popular text editor/IDE on Linux

Vim, which stands for Vi IMproved, is an open source, multiplatform text editor extended from vi. It was first released by Bram Moolenaar in 1991. Since then, numerous features have been added to Vim, many of which are helpful in editing program source code. Vim and vi are very popular editors for programmers and users of Unix-like operating systems.

There's actually two independent versions of MacVim: one that lives on http://macvim.org/, the other one is hosted on http://code.google.com/p/macvim/ MacVim.

    The best text editor ever! I used to use the E TextEditor, but it doesn't have even a half of vim's features.

    the more you learn about VIM, you'll find the less you know about it.

    I like Vim a lot. Unfortunately I never really pushed myself to switch completely from Textmate to Vim, although I think it would be a great replacement.
