Vim - the ubiquitous text editor
Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to make creating and
changing any kind of text very efficient.

Vim is rock stable and is continuously being developed to become even better.
Among its features are:

Support for the XDG Base Directory Specification
[2024-04-18]
Patch 9.1.327 brings support for the freedesktop XDG Base Directory Specification and has now been merged. A few more adjustments have been made withe following patches: v9.1.0337 and 9.1.345.
That means, you can now place your configuration files under ~/.config/vim/ instead of ~/.vim so Vim will stop littering your home directory.
Note: To make this change backwards compatible, Vim will only attempt to source from that location, if ~/.vim/vimrc and ~/.vimrc file do not exist. So it won't impact existing users, but users that want to start using the new location, will need to move their existing configuration to the new place.
You can also read about it at :h xdg-base-dir.
Thanks to all the contributors that help Vim continuing to grow! (Christian Brabandt)
