I use, exclusively, kate-based editors (usually kwrite, but also Kate 
and KDevelop), and... <drumroll please> vim. Granted I just went and dug 
up vim-enhanced last night (not installed by the KDE spin by default, 
bleh), but I object to the classification of /bin/vi as a "relic of 
history" and not "an actually usable editor". (vim-minimal is perfect 
for most editing of things in /etc, thank you very much! Including 
crontabs...)

I'd consider a system with no 'vi' to be broken :-). /bin/vi seems to be 
the lowest common denominator for a TUI editor on *nix systems.

Obviously, /bin/vi isn't necessarily Bram Moolenaar's VIM, but it's 
always close enough to be more-or-less usable (where the "more-or-less" 
almost invariably relates to how well it handles the arrow keys).
