Vim Turns 20 271
quanticle writes "20 years ago today, Bram Moolenaar released vim to the public. From the article:'The Vim text editor was first released to the public on November 2, 1991—exactly 20 years ago today. Although it was originally designed as a vi clone for the Amiga, it was soon ported to other platforms and eventually grew to become the most popular vi-compatible text editor. It is still actively developed and widely used across several operating systems.' Share your vim stories and your tales of battles with emacs users."

I use it all the time, for editing, for development, for general work, for writing my todo list today. Hell, I sometimes catch myself trying to use VI commands in my web browser, or other GUI programs.
It's actually come to replace all my other stuff, from IDE's to graphical text editors. I'm really happy with it!

For a web browser look into vimperator.
