Why VIM decided to make itself run just like VI (by default) is beyond me. Isn’t the long name “VI Improved”?

[–] nous@programming.dev 15 points 1 week ago

Vims defaults are quite crap overall. It is why everyone needs 100s of lines of configs and many plugins to turn it into something decent. Well worth the setup but it could go a long way to making things nicer to use out the box.
