To put it into perspective: vi was already 15 years old when Bram decided to write vim for the Amiga, which had a GUI - so vim already looked out of place on the Amiga too! - but it was still successful, of course (I think) mostly because of being ported to Linux pretty much at the same time as Linux got started.

Amiga by default had an Emacs clone on every install.

  That's incredible. Why? And why a clone? ???

    Probably because GNU Emacs was too bloated for the Amiga's 512KB of RAM (or whatever amount the original model had).

      They also might have been conserving storage space. Though Emacs did run on other contemporary systems.
