Stevie was written by Tim Thompson for the Atari ST in 1987. It later became the basis for Vim, which was released in 1988.^[3][4]

Thompson posted his original C source code as free software to the comp.sys.atari.st newsgroup on 28 June 1987.^[5][6] Tony Andrews added features and ported it to Unix, OS/2 and Amiga, posting his version to the comp.sources.unix newsgroup as free software on 6 June 1988.^{[7][8][9][10]} In 1991, Bram Moolenaar released Vim, which he based on the source code of the Amiga port of Stevie.^[11]
