Cream
 Cream is
billed as a modern configuration of the Vim text editor. Cream
is a set of scripts and add-ons that sit on top of gVim.
Vim is a powerful and full-featured console based text editor.
However, Vim is regarded as taking some time to master. Through common
menus, keyboard shortcuts, and extensive
editing functions, Cream makes Vim approachable for new users and adds
powerful features for experienced users.
Cream shapes Vim into an interface you probably already know
(sometimes called Common User Access). Whether you are writing emails
or developing large software applications, Cream aims to save you time
and get you up and running quickly.
