bye bye vi

[David J Patrick]

    Something terrible has happened; someone has hacked into my computer 
NO! broken into my house and replaced vi ! vim ! gvim !
    REPLACED  I tell you !!
    And after all that learning curve ! I was just getting the hang of it !
    But, seriously, after the latest greatest upgrade, to ver. 
6.2-127+1, It has COMPLETELY CHANGED ! No more modes, always has line 
numbers, I can't event delete a line, save the file or ":q!" quit ! It's 
bizarre !
    I tried running /usr/bin/vi, /usr/bin/vim/ , gvim, I tried hiding 
~/.vim and I keep coming face to face with a complete stranger !
    Once again I am forced to plead insanity and throw myself at the 
mercy of the LUG.
can ya help ?
