vim

I thought the thread was for top ten most influential amiga programs on the computer industry, not what are our favourite top ten applications on the amiga, which is what people seem to be replying with.

Otherwise I wouldn't have said vim, since personally I don't like vim (or vi), but you have to admit, it is a popular editor across the industry.

What is VIM Karlos?

Vi Improved, which stands alongside Emacs as one of the most popular cross-platform text editors in the world.

TBH, I prefer nano and I wouldn't class myself as "new generation". I think it comes from the forgetting vi's commands and getting carpal tunnel syndrome from emacs :lol:

The daddy of all Amiga influence is the Toaster, but I didn't list it because in my opinion it relies on a lot bespoke hardware which is not the intent of this thread.

Don't let that put you off, most people so far have just listed their favourite amiga applications, which in a lot of cases absolutely nobody outside of the amiga scene has ever heard of :lol:
