What are a few of the main differences between vi and vim? Are there any significant keyboard shortcut differences, any features that one has that the other does not? Yes, I do know that I asked another question similar to this (Vi vs vim, or, is there any reason why I would ever want to use vi?), but the purpose of that question was not a complete comparison between the two, but merely asking if there were any possible situations where vi had the advantage. This post is a direct comparison between the feature-sets of vi and vim.
