I think 99% of the people wouldn't notice if you just put vim in place of vi.
Wrong. The different undo semantics would surprise (and piss off) a lot of people.
Indeed. The two things that I notice most about vim vs vi are:
- Different undo semantics. I can never remember vim's so I always revert to single-level undo when using vim. - Different split-screen modes, both in how to split and how to navigate. I can usually manage to handle this one on the fly, usually by getting an error or two and then switching brain modes.
Having these semantics change when just upgrading the OS would be sure to piss people off. I was sure pissed when csh stopped paying attention to the werase character by virtue of quietly becoming tcsh.
