Lets step outside our own usecase. How many users actually use vim?
(Hint:This mailing list is very a bad sample). I would wager more
users use IRC and yet we removed xchat (for good reason).  If users
need an editor, nano works for that. If you want a programmers editor,
installing it is not hard, just as installing monodevelop, emacs,
eclipse, or countless others would be. Plus, vim takes up ~25 mb on
the cd (assuming I am doing my math right).
