It's okay these days, vi changed names, pick nvi or vim.

Unfortunately, there is already a tool called vi, so a port of
the editor vi is simply not possible.

I hacked the Seventh Edition Ed many years ago to include
the `b' command and left vi(1) behind.  I used ed from 1984
until 1995 when I could use sam(1).  I think that people who
have have never lived on ed for any length of time have  missed
out.
