Vi != Vim

I can see how technically, you can consider them the same. But anyone who's used to vim will have quite a bad time in vi because of all the things that don't work.

Yeah, I see people get lost going VIM -> NVI all the time.
Kinda wish NVI had some of the vim macro/etc functionality in it.

#17Okay. I admit to being surprised by this. Despite being a Sublime user myself I had expected vi[m]/emacs to handily beat all other options.
I'm sure there's a bit of selection bias by only polling the HN crowd (and at midnight on the west coast of the US / 3AM on the east coast -- a good portion of HN'ers are in SV).
The geographical interpretation is strange. Why would you think Sublime would be relatively more prevalent than vi/emacs in SV?
(Also don't forget it's coffee time in Europe)
