   Vim is certainly ancient (it is a clone of 'vi'), but it is actively   
   developed. It is designed for Linux/Unix (all linuxes and unixes have it   
   by default), and it has tons of features, but you have to be accustomed   
   to it in order to profit from them.   
      
   It is a plain text editor, not a word processor. It makes no use of   
   proportional fonts, that would be ridiculous. Many programmers use and   
   love it, and will have you shot if you dare criticizing it :-P
