vi is in a world all its  own but after installing vim-full it makes gets
easier.

You can have syntax highlighting, syntax highlighting with a dark background
(makes the letters lighter because dark blue on black is a pain),
jump to last edit position when re-opening, and use the mouse.

Basically makes it more like gedit, you just need to learn a few keys like
inserting text
and !wq.

You do not need to use h,j,k,l to move (just arrow keys) and it is a
little tricky but you can use regular copy and paste
commands also.
