Apple went to great lengths to get OS X validated as a full-on UNIX. To what degree do developers in general confuse UNIX itself with good-riddance mis-associations therewith which cause unnecessary friction against modern development? (Can we drop vi already? fine paradigm unto itself, but counter to any other 21st-century UI...)

Except vi is part of POSIX specification and hence you can not be certified UNIX without it.

Oh come on, suggesting to drop vi is practically flamebait.

You want Apple to drop vi from Mac? Pathetic
