vim sucks.

On all those Red Hat/Mandrake Linux boxes "vi" is vim by default.
Very painful, if you are used to nvi from BSD. A few days ago I
finally got around to creating an RPM for nvi. Install, add "alias
vi=nvi view=nview ex=nex", instant relief.

The idea that somebody might actually go out of his way to install
vim on a BSD box where there's a perfectly functional nvi is just
repugnant.

I'm not sure what all this means for emacs.
