Vim, or vi improved, is an open source text editor for multiple platforms. This article gives an overview of vim's latest improvements over vi. New features include multiple windows, syntax highlighting, multiple levels of undo, and color themes. All of these improvements are made possible by the use of vim plugins.

Member since:no way! I was just walking from work to my truck the other day and thought... "wouldn't it be nice to have a little icon sitting on the corner of a text box that would launch your favorite browser, save drafts in /tmp, and put the text into the text box when you write and quit!".
don't forget also the readline library... very nice for adding command line editing for emacs or vi users with history, command line completion, etc.
