I think OpenBSD switched to VIM, but I think that was because one of the
OpenBSD developers is some sort of die-hard VIM fan... and, well, I've never
really accused them of making good engineering decisions :-)

Personally, I'd like to integrate the nvi-1.79 that's in the BSD/OS
distribution.

The code in BSD/OS is redistributable according to the license on the
individual source files ... if the nvi-1.79 in BSD/OS has a Berkeley-like
license, I say "shar it up and beam me a copy!"
