Why isn't the vi editor in there? It's at least as "vim-like" as bash or tmux.

- ddevault 7y agoVi isn't Vim-like. Vim is Vi-like.
- iLemming 7y agoExactly. Vim stands for "Vi, Improved".
- a3n 7y agoAll of the listed apps have a subset of vim's functions. So does vi. You use the listed apps because you wish you were in vim, sort of. When you log in to a strange or bare system and need to edit, you wish you had vim. But at least you'll have vi, almost as good.
