I have found this to be the case on this Solaris box that I sometimes work with here at work. I guess it's good in a sense, because I probably should have learned how to use vi before, but I'm really an emacs fan. (Actually, vi and bash aren't part of the kernel either, are they? IIUC, they're both external utilities, one being an editor and the other a shell... but I shouldn't complain too much, since at least I don't have to use "/bin/sh" and "ed"!)
