elvis had colorization long before vim - more than one implementation. vim's colorization was written as an elaboration of elvis's second (official) colorization.
Elvis 2.2_0 (Default)
The website indicates that this release is two years old. What is new in this announcement?

I like it better than vim and install it on any system that I do development on.
