Boris Bilkevich:
In general, it’s the same editors.

Vi - old one.
Vim - new one.

Vim = vi modified.
If you know vi well, it’s easy to move to another editor

i think both are similar in normal usage…vim is vi improved…
differences are evident only when you use some advanced features…

Priyanka Maheshwari:
how we are using them after setting in vimrc file ?? never used

Jafar:
you don’t have to use them…just add these to ~/.vimrc file…

these are modifications to vim settings…
For eg.
set nu will display line numbers in vim…(which by default are not displayed)
