I am an avid VIM user, and I despise VI. If devuan is about choice you can always apt-get install vim-minimal after the default install.
Nano is a better choice for anyone, because it is not as large as VIM. Emacs is also not intuitive. I see no real obvious reason to default to vi instead of nano except that it was the default editor in some unix platform (and still is in some other). Nano, is not VI, but it's still in the spirit. A small unix tool that does one thing good, and excel at it. It is a simple and intuitive editor. VIM is a wonderful IDE, scripting language, terminal multiplexer and to a certain degree a religion too ([I worship it too][1]). This are all wonderful traits, but not necessarily a trait for a default installation. These are my two cents.
