On early unix systems, terminals were the only user interface. At that time, vi was a big improvement over ed. Many early unix users learned vi, and now still find it available by default on most linux systems as well as macOS.
Yes. I remember that well. However, there are other editors available for a terminal now that are far easier to use and don't mung the output so that Linux newcomers don't have to learn the arcane syntax of vi, but so many of them think they have to. Maybe Linux would spread easier and faster if newcomers weren't forced to do things the hard way now that it's not needed, and that's what I was talking about.
