This is what vi does. Movement is performed by hjkl,

This is exactly what vi does. Command cw changes the word
(and does only that), $ marks where it ends.

This has been hopefully explained already (vi runs a binary
that really behaves like vi, whereas vim runs something more
featureful -- this common in Linux distros). Anyway, it's
a bit strange when a vim user describes vi as `crazy' and
`so weird'...

Well, nocompatible is recommended, and since this is a vim list, not
just a vi list, I wouldn't think that it would be strange at all for
people to expect vim (not vi) when they want vim. Just my two-cents.
