本文介绍了vi编辑器的各种克隆版本和支持vi模式的编辑器，包括bvi、Yi、Kate等，并列举了一些受到vi启发的应用程序和插件，如bash、vimperator等。此外还提到了一些使用vi界面进行操作的非编辑器应用程序。

Most of us know about the most popular clone of vi - vim. Here are some more editors that are either vi clones or support emulations:

bvi - binary text editor
Yi - text editor written in Haskell with both vim and emacs goodness
Kate - The vi input mode
jVi - a vim clone which is also a plugin for NetBeans
nvi - a clone distributed with BSD
viper - vi emulation on top of Emacs
jsvi

However, vi has also inspired applications/plugins of completely different classes. Here are some examples:

bash - a Unix shell has vi mode
vimperator - an addon for Firefox, a Web browser, to make it behave like vim
vimperopera - vimperator for Opera, another Web browser
viemu - vi/vim emulator for Visual Studio, Word, Outlook and SQL Server
vifm - ncurses based file manager with vi like key-bindings
xzgv - image viewer
mutt - text based email client
apvlv - a PDF reader that behaves like vim
xmonad - a tiling window manager with some vim-like key-bindings
Google Reader - web based feed reader, and Gmail - a web based mail client, both borrow from vim key bindings

No wonder I thought of using the familiar interface while designing an application. All of us know vi the editor, but now it is the time of vi the interface. How many applications do we have like that?
