Even as a Vim user I feel I should point out that vim is almost never
what is expected the first time someone needs to edit a file in the
terminal.

It's a very good editor, but it's one that requires some learning.
Things take longer in, say, nano, but you're not at all likely to
accidentally save a file of garbage with it (unless your muscle memory
insists upon leaving vi commands all over the place :) )
