Agreed. But I would like to say something more.
Don't ever think on 'should not require vim'. Basesystem must have
vi. Period.

After agreement on this, you can spent the rest of your life talking
about what _ELSE_ a newbie would need, and choose a tiny, small, editor
to add. But look at _ADD_, not substitute.

Any admin would be annoyed if vi is not there. You can blame whatever you
want the cryptic keys of vi, but after learning a dozen keystrokes, you
can beat anyone in speed and reliability using vim.
