It is not that easy... one needs minimum VIM (imagine: to be booted from a pendrive anywhere), just for writing human-readable text... that means: not GUI, no syntax highliting, no built-in interpreters... but a spell-checker is a requirement. Other may use VIM only for writting configuration files (e.g. router set on a constrained hardware) and scripts, syntax highliting is one of the most important feature then... I think I had problem trying to use vim-static (our "minimal but static", no syntax highliting AFAIR) or nvi (not VIM at all, so a lot of functionality is missing) in such cases. It is a pity VIM doesn't support binary plugins (that would be the right solution for the interpreters problem)... Fortunately some heavy functionality may be partitioned by splitting vim-rt package.
