Amiga

Quite a long time ago, Vim development started on the Amiga. Although it's a really old system now, it might still work. However, this has not been tested recently. You may have to use an older version for which Amiga binaries are available.

Macintosh

The terminal version of Vim is included as "vi", you already have it. It's lagging behind a bit though and has limited features, thus you may want to additionally install a recent version or one with more features.

MacVim

There most popular version is MacVim. This is being actively developed. This behaves like a Mac application, using a GUI.

MacVim has more a Mac look and feel, is developed actively and most people prefer this version. Most of MacVim was made by Björn Winckler.

MacVim can be downloaded here: https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim

New versions are made quite often. Subscribe to the vim-mac maillist to be informed about bugs and updates.

Homebrew

This is a terminal version installed with the "brew" command. It is updated frequently. It can be downloaded here: formulae.brew.sh/formula/vim.

Background

Most of the work for the Macintosh port (Classic and Carbon) was done by Dany St-Amant.

If you have OSX and a setup for compiling programs, you can use the source code and compile yourself. See the Unix section above. The development tools can be downloaded from Apple's developer web site.
