Or just CTRL+z and then 'fg' to go back.
Does that work in all shells?
I haven't used many esoteric environments, but wikipedia says it "exists in most modern Unix shells" and the timeline for first adding it was the late 70s early 80s.
After years of a love/hate relationship with Vim (I love what it does, but have configuring it), I had an epiphany: by sticking with the defaults, whether they are my preferred choices or not, I can instantly understand how to use Vim in any environment. Once you get used to biting the bullet and hitting escape instead of jj, or ctrl+c, it just works, everywhere. If you abandon the urge to pimp out your Vim with a bi…

I am right there with you. I did the same thing, and now when I jump into Vim from anywhere, it's so much easier. Though I really do like having the Capslock key remapped to escape.

This is incorrect; nvi is in fact a mid 1990's fork of Elvis, worked over for better POSIX compliance by Keith Bostic.

Though that was the first public release, Moolenaar had worked on it since 1988. It was based on Tim Thompson's Stevie, which had been released, in 1987 (noted in the table).
Looks like Vundle has an MIT license. rip off usually implies something negative or dishonest. Copying MIT licensed code is a normal and encouraged activity.

Just a quick note, you can use Ctrl +[ rather than Escape. Saves your fingers from constantly having to reach for that corner.
I bind my CAPSLOCK to ECAPE that way instead of the escape key killing my hand my left pinky finger can just naturally get me out of insert mode by hitting CAPSLOCK.
A side benefit of this is that F5 is mapped to refresh for a lot of apps (Firefox, for one) so I can hit capslock to refresh a page.

If you want "personalized powerhouse editor with IDE powers" you are FAR better off going with Emacs/Evil.
The Emacs plugin ecosystem is way ahead of Vim.
Plugins are clean, stable and compose well together. That was never my experience with Vim.
Also unlike Vimscript, Elisp is pretty clean useable language that many Emacs users actually learn. I'd bet the vast majority of vim users never get past step 1 on learning Vimscript?
Emacs/Evil for the workstation and clean Vim for the random server side work.
