Hear hear.

One of the biggest advantages of vi is that it permits extremely efficient
use of the bandwidth, as it allows the remote terminal or terminal emulation
to handle jobs like moving blocks of text around in a cut-and-paste
operation, etc.

This may seem unimportant today, but wait until the day comes that you need
to edit a single config file on a system that's 500 miles away and behind a
dedicated dialup modem on a phone line that is routed through a cow
pasture and can only handle 28.8k
