This package provides some directories which are required by other packages that add vim files, p.e. additional syntax files or filetypes.
VIM (VIsual editor iMproved) is an updated and improved version of the vi editor. Vi was the first real screen-based editor for UNIX, and is still very popular. VIM improves on vi by adding new features: multiple windows, multi-level undo, block highlighting and more. The vim-minimal package includes a minimal version of VIM, which is installed into /bin/vi for use when only the root partition is present. NOTE: The online help is only available when the vim-common package is installed.
