Although I use to have vim as the only editor on all of my systems,
I'm certainly not the representative user of Ubuntu, so actually I
agree with you.

We should have vi installed by default though, since it has a long
standing Unix tradition and is quite small. People who want the full
power of vim will know how to get it.

But I'm not sure whether we can modify the seeds this close to the
release...
