   Why this red herring now? - In response to Andreas' hint about *Vi*   
   you had said: "Aren’t they all called “vim” nowadays?"   
      
   In case you are interested in the typical taxonomy[*]...   
   It started with ex/vi, then there were Vi-clones (own implementations   
   or approximations or extensions of Vi), Vim as being a prominent one.   
   There's were/are lot of Vi clones (stevie, elvis, vile, nvi, and more).   
   There's a Vim branch neovim (that might or might not get relevance in   
   future now that Bram had died), I don't know of mvim, and gvim is just   
   graphical Vim.   
      
   It should be obvious to name any clone according to the functional base   
   or code base the clone is comparing with or is based on.

   [*] "typical", because no one can prevent anyone to name a tool myvi   
   or myvim with or without any reference to vi and vim respectively.
