Hi, It's an old discussion, but I've found interesting. IMHO I think that sometimes it was discussed the wrong issue. It's not about if vi/vim it's of my taste or not. It's about if it's relevant. And I think vim is still relevant. It's the main editor on many distros and it's perfect for embedded Linuxes.
On the other hand, we can discuss endlessly about the best paradigm, such as in the old war vim-emacs... single tools or a multipurpose tool... In my proper experience, people working around of me always used vim. Also I insist we should not mix relevance with choices. For example, I am against of unix eilistm, but IMHO vim is by far much more productive that nano despite its easy of use at first look.
