Wake me when there's a Vim equivalent.

Ahh, EMACS

Truly, it would be the world's most perfect operating system, if only it had a decent text editor.

Yes, emacs, in its glorious tolerance of even the worst free ideas, sports a Vim-equivalent mode.

For users new to the world of UNIX editors Emacs supports the simpler Vi emulation via

(setq global-map (make-sparse-keymap))

which faithfully emulates a novice user's experience of vi.

EMACS SUCKS AND SO DOES YOUR MOTHER!

VIM & VI also suck. The standard editor is, ed. Obviously. Ed. "Ed is generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm the novice with verbosity."

Finally!

EMACS gets a package manager!
Now the only thing this OS is missing is a text editor. Once they have that have, they'll be good to go.
