There are currently two kinds of Vim for Macintosh:
- Using the Cocoa GUI. Also known as MacVim. This is the latest and is being actively developed. This behaves like a Mac application.
- Using the Carbon GUI. This is an older way of doing things and isn't updated much any more. This behaves more like Vim on Unix.
This is the Carbon GUI version.
