Information about Vim

^{Taken from the nomination post}

Vim is a text editor that is meant to be an improvement over vi.

It's very concise - usual operations only take one or two ASCII bytes.

It's really good for string manipulation challenges (string is our second most popular tags), so you are going to find chances to use it very often.
