That said, some editors, like Sublime Text 2 (my current favorite)
have a vi mode that functions pretty closely to how vi does. It's
another way to ease your way into the vi mindset, as it were.
Personally, I know enough vi to get around but not enough to prefer
it. It's simy a matter of necessity though, as vi is the only editor
I've found installed on every system I need to edit on. Too bad it
couldn't at least be vim though.
Ugh. Plain vi (non-vim) is a bear to use. Many non-vim vi's have an undo
buffer with a depth of 1. And it just goes downhill from there. :-P
But at least, once you've eased into the vim mindset, you can navigate
around inferior vi's without stumbling into electric fences and stubbing
your toes.

One thing I hate is visiting customers which have UNIX installations
configured with their default installs.
Depending on the operating system version, sometimes I feel like I am
back in 197x, with the original versions of vi, sh, sed, and so on.
The people that only have GNU/Linux or BSD experience, don't have any
idea how spoiled they are when compared with the commercial UNIX vendors
offerings.
