Sums up my thoughts on vi:

Yeah, but a good portion of Mac users would never use it if it weren't UNIX under the covers and if it didn't enable them to work they way they like (from command line and vi). Without these people advocating the platform, it would be a lot less successful.

Agreed. The sole reason I use a Mac is because it's BSD + a far far superior replacement to X Windows. Among countless other subtle perfections.
