I think most modern distros have now replaced vi with vim. At least on Fedora this seems to be the case as with most of the other distros I've used.

Indeed. If you use *nix at all, vi is your friend. I know folks that have tried to live with using the gui text editor from the desktop, but to me if you are making small changes, vi is so much faster. Using regular expressions to make bulk changes is a VERY nice feature as well. It's a very powerful tool once you learn how to use it.
