vi used to be the only editor included on standard Unix installations.
Now, the vendors include other editors. However, if you have to boot from
the CD to recover a system in single user mode, vi is usually the only
editor available. You better know if you need to edit a file like
/etc/vfstab to get a system bootable again.

IMHO there also ed.
Presonally I prefer ed, because I can work with it. I cannot use vi. I
use computers for years, people say, I'm not idiot. I met many editors,
some of them were unconvenient, but I swear, I cannot do anything in vi.
Anything except getting beeping termial.
