+that many consider it an entire IDE.  It's not just for programmers, though.
+Vim is perfect for all kinds of text editing, from composing email to editing
+configuration files.

+This package provides a version of Vim with many optional features enabled.
+It includes a graphical interface, @command{gvim}, and support for plugins
