Many people (myself included) consider vi to be a powerful editor. I've not heard many who would call it simple though.

- fernandotakai 7y agoyup. it's extremely powerful, super customizable (when it comes to vim/neovim), but simple? never. i would never recommend vim to a someone that is just beginning when vscode is right there.
- boomlinde 7y agoI think the point is that there is a sense in which you can say that something is simple that pertains to complexity rather than ease of use. Vim is arguably simple in neither of these senses, but most Vi clones are much less complex than Vim or NeoVim.
