Tried the visual mode in vim? <esc>+v at the start, then use any other 
navigation command to take you to the end. Either yank or delete with y or d. 
Then paste with p or P. Equally easy methinks.

Oh, and the visual block mode is yummy.

Then again, I haven't used the original vi. All of the above applies to vim.
