Well there's some dispute over whether it's actually a bug.  But for
someone unfamiliar with vi/vim & how one or the other's 'supposed' to
work - perhaps using it to edit some config files because they can't
boot into the GUI - the current situation could render this tool
unusable. For them, it looks like a bug & quacks like a bug...

For people who do know how vi/vim are supposed to work will,  it looks &
quacks like compatibility mode.

So why not just "fix" it for the people who'll perceive it as a bug & ship a la 
fix here:

The only downside is *not* confusing the experts...
