+Vim is often called a \"programmer's editor,\" and so useful for programming
+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
+written in the Python 3, Perl, Ruby, Tcl, and Lua programming languages.")))
