Emacs is from the 80s. (vi probably older, but it might be considered more different from a modern vim.)

  Wikipedia says that vi was first released in 1976.

    Vim is not Vi. It's a project that initially emulated its behaviour and then extended it. So I would say that Vim is from 1991.

      Vim was a fork of the Amiga port of Stevie which was first released in 1987.
