As one of the earliest examples, IBM's mainframe text publishing system BookMaster, provides a default way to specify which parts of a book to publish, called "vanilla", and a fancier way, called "mocha".[4]
The term "vanilla" is sometimes also used for hardware components. For instance, in the 1990s non-upgraded Amigahome computers were called "(plain) vanilla";[5] similarly, it was later also applied to PC parts.[6]
For Unix-based kernels, a "vanilla kernel" is a kernel that has been unmodified by any third-party source. For instance, the vanilla Linux kernel is often given a Linux distribution–specific "flavour" by being heavily modified.[7][8]
In his book End of Ignorance, Charles Winborne refers to a static page that is "only a text file, but one that links to accompanying files" as a plain-vanilla web page.[9]
Video game players usually refer to games without installed mods as "vanilla".
JavaScript, when used without any libraries or third party plugins is referred to as "vanilla JavaScript".
