Vim has all of the usefulness of vi and then tossed in buffers so vi wasn't worse than emacs, I doubt I've used 10% of the stuff that he added to vim. For me, it was a portable vi that worked everywhere, faithful to vi, with buffers. I use it every day, I'm typing this email in it. He was only 62, so sad. He will be missed and remembered. :help iccf and perhaps donate in his memory, I will.
