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 / Linux systems.

Vim is perfect for all kinds of text editing, from composing email to editing configuration files. Despite what the above comic suggests, Vim can be configured to work in a very simple (Notepad-like) way, called evim or Easy Vim.
