Amazing article from Gustavo Pezzi about the history of the vi editor up to vim. Did you know that vim was first developed for the Amiga? That and lots of other interesting tidbits.

Yes, as I am an Amiga user I've used it from very early on

I now live in vim, but as a kid I only ever used microemacs on the Amiga because it came with the OS.

I love how much modern computing culture has its roots in the good old Amiga, and folks who didn't own one are totally clueless about it.
