          • 1987 - A limited vi clone STEVIE, the ST Editor for VI Enthusiasts, was born.
          • 1988 - Bram Moolenaar took the source for STEVIE and ported it to the Amiga which marked the first release of Vim. It was also known as the "wq text editor" at the time. Most folks take the acronym to mean vi Improved, but originally, it stood for vi Imitation. It took on the Improved meaning later in 1993 around version 2.
