You'd lose the colors. In all other respects vim would work perfectly, and that's how I like it. I really don't appreciate trying to make out dark blue text on my black xterm, so I always nuke that irritant soon after install. On a server with many users, I'd naturally lean towards the other solution, just in case somebody actually wanted those colors.
