  Vim (text editor) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vim is today one of the two most popular editors for programmers and users of Unix-like operating systems, alongside Emacs.
Vim is said to have a steep learning curve, meaning learning is slow initially but once the user gets a grasp of the basics they progress quickly and their editing becomes more efficient.
All editors are modal in the general sense of having to distinguish insert and command inputs, but most others implement that modality through very different methods: command menus (mouse or keyboard driven), meta keys (simultaneous use of multiple keys, usually involving control key (CTRL) or alt key (ALT)), and/or general mouse usage.
