I wouldn't call vi primitive. In fact I would say it has to be one of the finest text editors available to anyone. Movement is lightning quick and editing can be done in a snap from multiple positions around the cursor with just a flick of a key, besides...the mouse hurts my wrist and arm something fierce. As others have stated you are free to choose what gets installed in your system, but I wouldn't touch anything like emacs if my life depended on it. Tried once, didn't like it, went back to vi. Que sera, sera.
