Emacs is from the 80s. (vi probably older, but it might be considered more different from a modern vim.)

From the wiki:

"The first operational EMACS system existed in late 1976."[0]

Wikipedia says that vi was first released in 1976.
Vim is not Vi. It's a project that initially emulated its behaviour and then extended it. So I would say that Vim is from 1991.
Vim was a fork of the Amiga port of Stevie which was first released in 1987.
