Vim

Vim is an advanced text editor that seeks to provide the power of the de-facto Unix editor 'Vi', with a more complete feature set. The job it does: making developers faster with better editors, debuggers and workflows.

The natural audience is software teams. Alongside the main category they mention Developer Tools, Open Source and Web Design. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Vim is based in Brooklyn, New York and founded in 1976. Their site is vim.org.

Our checklist for this category: language support, team features, and privacy of your code. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with Vim, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
