I think vim is a great piece of software but ... its somehow really "kind of bloated". Its so overloaded with functions, that I refuse since year to use it as my standard editor. The normal sysadmin expects something like vi. He reads an vi handbook, and we should provide such kind of standard vi. The ports collection exactly covers things like vim, emacsen, etc ... BTW, robert, if you already think of terms to "waste" time for loadable editor modules ... the only thing I'm really missing in standard vi is an extended command line with - history function - save history and - editable like everything other compiled and linked with readline lib. That would be a great change to nvi, that brings the most important user friendlyness, that really would be a big win ...
