Sorry for my question, but why DSL don't include vim like term editor? I don't talk about gVim, but vim small and powerfull text editor.

DSL does have vim.  For some reason it's started with the 'vi' command, but it's vim.

Hmm..

For the next version of DSL, maybe somebody should add a tiny symlink in /usr/bin that points "vim" over to the vim program executable.

Just a thought.

I disagree ;p it should just stay 'vi' ;\ ! vim = blehhhh ;p at least with the name being 'vi' im not reminded so often than im using vim ;p

*long live nvi!* (nvi is a bug-for-bug compatible replacement for the original  Fourth  Berkeley  Software  Distribution (4BSD)  ex  and vi programs.
