    Huh, vi for me has always been actual vi, not vim. Didn’t know some systems symlink vi to vim.

      A long time ago, someone posted advocating symlinking vi to emacs. Evil, but entertaining.

      vim has a limited “vi-mode” that it uses if you call it as vi. so it could still be vim.

        Ohh that makes more sense. Yeah perhaps, although come to think of it I still need to install vim from the package manager even if vi works fresh out of the box so maybe not?
