Nope, nvi is, because it is bug-for-bug compatible with VI. Also,
I believe that ae is the default editor, although there was a heated
debate on debian-devel a while back about the default editor. Our
beloved VIM lost out because people said it wasn't intuitive and
that it was too hard to learn <sob>. You can take my VIM when you
pry it from my cold, dead, fingers!
