What will be an ideal response?

The vi command-line text editor is included with most versions of UNIX and Linux. Although learning it takes some effort, most Linux administrators agree that knowing how to use it is crucial. Created by Bill Joy at the University of California at Berkeley in 1976, vi has evolved into many forms, including vim, which stands for "vi improved." The vi command is now linked to the vim command, so even when you issue the vi command, you are actually starting the vim editor.
