Turn back the dial of time a bit. No, keep turning... a little more... there! Over 25 years ago, when some of your professional colleagues were still toddlers, Bram Moolenaar started working on a text editor for his Amiga. He was a user of vi on Unix, but the Amiga didn't have anything quite like it. On November 2, 1991, after three years in development, he released the first version of the "Vi IMitation" editor, or [Vim][6].
Two years later, with the 2.0 release, Vim's feature set had exceeded that of vi, so the acronym was changed to "Vi IMproved," Today, having just marked its 25th birthday, Vim is available on a wide array of platforms—Windows, OS/2, OpenVMS, BSD, Android, iOS—and it comes shipped standard with OS X and many Linux distros. It is praised by many, reviled by many, and is a central player in the ongoing conflicts between groups of developers. Interview questions have even been asked: "Emacs or Vim?" Vim is licensed freely, under a [charityware license][5] compatible with the GPL.
Vim is a flexible, extensible text editor with a powerful plugin system, rock-solid integration with many development tools, and support for hundreds of programming languages and file formats. Twenty-five years after its creation, Bram Moolenaar still leads development and maintenance of the project—a feat in itself! Vim had been chugging along in maintenance mode for more than a decade, but in September 2016 version 8.0 was released, adding new features to the editor of use to modern programmers. For many years now, sales of T-shirts and other Vim logo gear on the website has supported [ICCF][4], a Dutch charity that supports children in Uganda. It's a favorite project of Moolenaar, who has made trips to Uganda to volunteer at the children's center in Kibaale.
Vim is one of the interesting tidbits of open source history: a project that, for 25 years, has kept the same core contributor and is used by vast numbers of people, many without ever knowing its history.

# 标志性文本编辑器 Vim 迎来其 25 周年纪念日

让我们把时钟往回拨一点。不,别停…再来一点…好了!在 25 年前当你的某些专家同事还在蹒跚学步时Bram Moolenaar 开始为他的 Amiga 计算机开发一款文本编辑器。他曾经是 Unix 上的 vi 用户,但 Amiga 上却没有与其类似的编辑器。在三年的开发之后1991 年 11 月 2 日,他发布了“仿 vi 编辑器 (Vi IMitation)”(也就是 [Vim][6])的第一个版本。
两年之后,随着 2.0 版本的发布Vim 的功能集已经超过了 vi所以这款编辑器的全称也被改为了“vi 增强版 (Vi IMproved)”。现在,刚刚度过 25 岁生日的 Vim已经可以在绝大部分平台上运行——Windows, OS/2, OpenVMS, BSD, Android, iOS——并且已在 OS X 及很多 Linux 发行版上成为标配软件。它受到了许多赞誉,也受到了许多批评,不同组织或开发者也会围绕它来发起争论,甚至有些面试官会问:“你用 Emacs 还是 Vim”Vim 已拥有自由许可证,它基于[慈善软件证书][5]发布,该证书与 GPL 兼容。
Vim 是一个灵活的、可扩展的编辑器,带有一个强大的插件系统,它在许多开发工具上被稳定移植,并且可以编辑上百种编程语言或文件类型的文件。 在 Vim 诞生二十五年后Bram Moolenaar 仍然在主导开发并维护它——这真是一个壮举Vim 曾经在超过 20 年的时间里数次间歇中断开发,但在 2016 年 9 月,它发布了 8.0 版本添加了许多新功能为现代程序员用户提供了更多方便。很多年来Vim 在官网上售卖 T 恤及 logo 贴纸,所得的销售款为支持 [ICCF][4]——一个帮助乌干达儿童的德国慈善机构做出了巨大贡献。Vim 所支持的慈善项目深受 Moolenaar 喜爱Mooleaar 本人也去过乌干达,在基巴莱的一个儿童中心做志愿者。
Vim 在开源历史上记下了有趣的一笔:一个工程,在 25 年中坚持由一个稳定的核心贡献者维护,拥有超多的用户,但很多人从未了解过它的历史。如果你想简单的了解 Vim[请访问它的网站][3],或者你可以读一读[Vim 入门的一些小技巧][2],或者在 Opensource.com 阅读一位 [Vim 新用户的故事][1]。
