Using vi requires you to keep track of the

My vim (not vi) tells me at the bottom of the screen. Right now it
says:
-- INSERT -- 13,66 All
Not only that, the cursor block goes from fat (in normal mode) to
skinny (in insert mode).
That must be configurable, because my cursor is always block-sized.
The shift to line cursor in insert mode only works in gvim. In vim, the
status line is the only indicator. In any case, I am sure vim users
don't even bother to remember the mode. They just <Escape> out of doubt.
