Version 7 of the editor VIM has been released. New features include spell checking, completion, tabs, intelligent undo, and much more. "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. Vim is often called a 'programmer's editor,' and so useful for programming that many consider it an entire IDE. It's not just for programmers, though. Vim is perfect for all kinds of text editing, from composing email to editing configuration files." Get it here.

>>>Bloated. Less is more<<<
It's hard to say that a shell/console text editor like VIM suffers from bloat. Considering that bargain basement PCs ship w/ GHz+ CPUs and 512MB+, I don't think you'd notice any performance difference with or without the new features they've mentioned.
It's a friggin text editor, not a word processor. You could probably even run it on your cell phone.
