"Old tools" does not mean obsolete or bad. It means tested, hardened, and reliable. And crucially, probably runs in a couple megabytes of memory, which you might need if the cost of RAM suddenly quintuples for no reason.

B-but don't you want AI in vi?

AI in vim is actually often convenient.

:set ai

Cool, now it will keep track of my indentation.

Now sometimes that gets in the way, and while you can:

:set noai

Usually it's best for me to:

:set paste

And that's my take on the utility of AI in vim. (that is what you meant right, there isn't some other AI people are thinking of right?)

You can almost hear the legacy programmers screaming about Haskel and C from here. /j
