I guess that could be.
Vim as a package was installable though on Debian and Kubuntu, about 25
meg. I believe on one of the systems I had tried the "arrow keys in insert
mode" and it would paste the ANSI characters/commands (A, B, C, D) in the
text itself, instead of doing cursor movement. So there you have it. After
vim installation, that behaviour was gone. (for the "vi" command, I never
use "vim").

What is found on some distros is that there is no "vim" in the command
path, but whenever I've encountered that, it is simply because vim has
supplanted obsolete vi:
$ file /etc/alternatives/vi
/etc/alternatives/vi: symbolic link to `/usr/bin/vim.basic'
Has that led to some initial confusion? (Or is it called kvim there?)
