    Vim is just way better than Vi if I have to use it to actually change more than a few characters in a text file/config.

    It’s probably just me but with Vi I struggle with inputting any text because I’m used to using the arrow keys to navigate. It keeps putting a ‘B’, in particular, and newlines whenever I want to navigate text.
