8.0 was the first major release in 20 years? I find that claim highly suspect. ... search ... Judging by the timestamps on the vim ftp server, 7.0 was released in 2006. 6.0 in 2001. 5.0 in 1998. That's about how I remember it, although I don't think I got on to the 5 series until after 2000. Anyway, that's four major releases in 20 years.

Looks like a typo in the article. From the linked 8.0 announcement: > This the first major Vim release in ten years.

  It’s not a typo. A typo would be spelling “ten” as “tne”. This is, at least, a sloppy mistake in what they wrote.
