For those new to Vim, it is a powerful and highly configurable text editor that was first released by Bram Moolenaar in 1991 for the Amiga computer. Vim was designed to be an enhanced version of the vi editor, with many new features tailored to modern programming workflows. It is available across multiple operating systems, but is most popular on Unix-like systems.

The program is released under a free and open-source software license compatible with the GNU General Public License, with charityware clauses to make it accessible to more users. Vim's interface is command-based, with no menus or icons, but can be supplemented by gVim's GUI mode for easier access to commonly used commands.

While learning Vim may take some time, it offers significant productivity gains and a built-in tutorial helps users master its features. For those seeking more advanced features, the Vim User's Manual provides detailed information on how to use the more advanced features of Vim. Additionally, Vim has a robust built-in help facility that can be used to quickly find answers to your questions.
