-Vim is a virtually compatible, extremely enhanced, version of the UNIX
-text editor vi.
+Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing.
+It is an improved version of the vi editor distributed with most UNIX systems.
 
-There are a lot of enhancements above Vi: multi level undo, multi-windows
-and buffers, syntax highlighting, command line editing, filename completion,
-on-line help, visual selection, etc..  
+Vim is often called a "programmer's editor," and so useful for programming that
+many consider it an entire IDE. It's not just for programmers, though. Vim is
+perfect for all kinds of text editing, from composing email to editing
+configuration files.
 
-Many features above standard vi's have been added:
-    multiple windows and buffers, multi level undo, command line history,
-    filename completion, selection highlighting, block operations (including
-    column/rectangular blocks), syntax highlighting, on-line help, etc.
-	Embeded Perl, Tcl, and Python support.
-	See ":help vi_diff" for a summary of the differences between Vim and Vi.
-
-	An X-windows aware or a full X-windows GUI version can also be built
-	that allows full use of the mouse and pull-down menus
-
-See http://www.vim.org/why.html for a full explanation of Vim's features.
-
-Portability to all UNIX platforms, AmigaOS, Archimedes, Atari MiNT, BeOS,
-M$-DOS, MacOS, OS/2, VMS, WinNT+Win95.
+Despite what the above comic suggests, Vim can be configured to work in a very
+simple (Notepad-like) way, called evim or Easy Vim.
