What is VI?

Vi is a screen-oriented text editor originally created for the Unix operating system. It is known for its efficiency and modal editing paradigm (command mode vs. insert mode). Vi and its various clones (like Vim) are still widely used by programmers and system administrators for editing configuration files, writing code, and other text-based tasks, especially in terminal environments.
