I think your question reflects a general confusion going on through this thread. The topic is not whether vi is useful or not, or whether is it maintained as vim or not, whether it is the best possible editor for you or not. vi is simply a tool, a means to an end. And that end is a changed file (usually a text file). The question at hand is whether vi warrants inclusion in the LPIC-1 exam or not, and that is something entirely different because then it has to satisfy a very different set of criteria than "I find it a very useful tool". But to answer your question, the correct answer is whatever suits your needs. For console editors you have pico, joe, nano and all their derivatives. For GUI editors you have gedit, kwrite, kate. Plus a very long long list of other more niche editors. Take your pick. For the record, I'm a major vi fan. I also refuse to teach it - I will go as far as having students run vimtutor and no further.
