Interesting. Are vim on the CLI and Vim the gui program two separate things? (I actually used "MacVim" on MacOS for basic note taking in class since I could alt tab to it, but tended to do any script writing in vim on the cli.) An

I thought the appeal of vi was it can mostly be used "as is" vs emacs being infinitely customizable? The folks I know who use vi do so because they are at their core, sysadmins, and something simple and consistent is valued.
