They usually have one of the many clones of vi, installed as vi. Very few use actual vi, because for many years it was out-of-bounds because it used AT&T code from ed.

Interesting. What's the easiest way to check which vi binary I have?

  $ update-alternatives --display vi
  vi - auto mode
    link currently points to /usr/bin/vim.gtk
  ...

  $ ll $(which vi)
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 May 16 17:14 /usr/bin/vi -> /etc/alternatives/vi*
  $ ll /etc/alternatives/vi
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 May 17 06:07 /etc/alternatives/vi -> /usr/bin/vim.gtk*
  $ ll /usr/bin/vim.gtk 
  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2391176 Apr  2 03:18 /usr/bin/vim.gtk*

What does hacking ON Emacs lisp mean? Does it mean working on Emacs's lisp interpreter's source? Or on some project written in Emacs lisp?

For me it means writing an .el extension.
