Don't think that was the point.  There's a lot about Vim that pico/nano
doesn't need to do.  Some people like to have a very basic editor around. 
One that they can jump right in and start using to make minor changes to
text/conf files without having to learn a slew of commands.  I've looked
at both vi(m) and (x)emacs, both more or less require a complete change in
how I think about editing.  Something I'm not willing to do.  So, I look
for other editors.
