Well, your comment came across as very snarky and negative, but I wanted to add some information however you intended that comment to be perceived. I've been using vi/vim since about late 1996. I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination, but it's like an old friend by now. It has been on every single system I've ssh'd into (as vi) and every system I've had configuration control over has installed vim. (recently via Puppet or Ansible, previously via Kickstart or setup script) I've used vim for a bunch of different things. Most Linux distributions these days have a lot of sensible stuff already enabled to use immediately, and I've found that my customizations work really well across Linux, Mac, and Windows WSL v1 or v2. Being able to rapidly transform a lot of text in a document through vim's composable commands is incredibly powerful. If you haven't tried it, run through a tutorial.
