Last time I used Slackware, entering 'vi' still invoked elvis, a sufficiently minimal vi clone. Vim was there too, under 'vim'.

- JdeBP 3y agoAnd FreeBSD and OpenBSD supply nvi as their vi. In contrast, there are plenty of people that push this as a handy default. It's all over the place and sneaks in via all sorts of routes -- very unfortunately for those people who want vi to invoke something that is closer to genuine Joy vi than VIM and NeoVIM are, even in their "compatible" modes. Just one example is the default yashrc that is used by the Watanabe shell: https://github.com/magicant/yash/blob/trunk/share/initialization/common#L131 https://github.com/magicant/yash/blob/trunk/share/initializa... (Yes, this is the default, in the absence of a yashrc file, not the sample yashrc file.)
