On the rare occasions that I encounter non-Vim vi clones, I quickly run into missing features like these:
- deleting past the insertion point in insert mode
- visual mode
- split screen
- multiple buffers
- text objects
- macros
So even for people who don't care about Vim's syntax highlighting or autocomplete features, I'd assume real vi is a non-starter. I'd choose it over nano (no offence), but still.
