I live for undo. vim doesn't do it right.
Also, vim creates '.BLAH.swp' files in the same directory as the file
you are editing, even if you do not modify the file, which are
unbelievably annoying.
And vim's split screen stuff is aweful. It is far too easy to accidently
get into split screen mode.
I would be very pissed if someone ripped out nvi.
