I missed that editor war too (did it take place in debian-devel?).
Regarding the fact that a tiny vi is included in the base disks, I agree
with Bruce that it is more important to get one disk installs than
placing vi on the base disks. I think that any one used to vi can get
used to a small editor like ae without problems. Besides, there is
little need for a powerful editor at installation time.

P.S. I am a vi fan :-)
