@sqrtminusone Vim, meaning energetic or lively, is a common word in old English, and still used like in the phrase "with vim and vigor". This is probably what the search hits for Vim are from.
The only instance of non-editor "vim" I've seen was in a piece by Dennett arguing against the existence of qualia. The argument was something like: 'Imagine the property of a dollar that gives it meaning. Let's call it "vim".'
