+# The `vim` command
+
+The [vim](https://www.vim.org/) is a text editor for Unix that comes with Linux, BSD, and macOS. It is known to be fast and powerful, partly because it is a small program that can run in a terminal (although it has a graphical interface). 
+Vim text editor is developed by [Bram Moolenaar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bram_Moolenaar). It supports most file types and the vim editor is also known as a programmer's editor. It is mainly because it can be managed entirely without menus or a mouse with a keyboard.
+
+**Note:** Do not confuse `vim` with `vi`. `vi`, which stands for "Visual", is a text editor that was developed by [Bill Joy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Joy) in 1976. `vim` stands for "Vi Improved", and is an improved clone of the `vi` editor.
