Why solve a "problem" that no actual user of the software has? It's not an iphone, it isn't meant for use by the general public.

Use nano if that's what you want. There's no reason to fuck up vim for people who actually use it to help the people who don't.

That's your distro's problem, not vim's. There is no reason to fuck up vim just because distros are poorly configured.
