@rdr @0 @maestro @mint @r000t @tinfoil-hat I used it for maybe fifteen years; I don't remember when I switched from other-vi to vim. Some time around 6.0 or 7.0, I started getting apprehensive whenever I updated: "What new awful shit will I have to disable?" The most recent horror was the stupid load order, which was hopelessly byzantine to begin with, changed in 8.0 or around there. I just used strace and moved things to before/after files until I got it to do what I wanted again. I keep it on this machine for exactly one purpose: `git diff | vim -`. It is a pretty good diff reader. Otherwise, nvi and busybox's vi are both much more reasonable.

@leyonhjelm @0 @maestro @mint @r000t @rdr @tinfoil-hat Thanks to the wonders of static linking, I can just shove a busybox executable at a machine and have a regular vi if I need it, but ed suffices for almost everything that I don't use acme for. I think I could probably survive on just ed. Maybe if my machine had a non-glass tty, ha.
I mean, :ken: still uses sam, and it's basically ed with windows. It's a pretty reasonable editor, I use it once in a while.

Vim is a thing I use primarily at work because it’s there. It’s like driving a rental car you definitely wouldn’t own
