Hey, I resemble that remark. :) The editor I use on the color computer has
had several names over the years, vi being the first one. Then somebody
made a window device called vi, and I had to rename it vim. Vim it isn't,
but it still works fine. And I still use vim on these linux boxes about
half the time, but gedit is gradually taking over for writing gcode to run
a milling machine or lathe.

vi was user friendly when it was developed... when memory was tight and
more than one variable would get stored per byte, when a non-volatile

friendly to. K3B takes the power approach: You want the power,
you got the power.
Here's hoping you know how to use it! ;-)
Imagine the state vi/vim would be in if it was decided being user
friendly was more important than features!
