vim has an option to undo the vi way. "set cpoptions=u". There is a full
set of vi-compatible options if you want them. "set cp" turns on full vi
compatiblity.
Funny, I see vim as the vi that comes with UNIX, and never learned the
enhancements, but I just tried it out and I don't have the compatibility
option set. I don't seem to have noticed. I guess I don't do the "undo
toggle" all that often.

maybe offer a way to
map the new one over the old -- but don't make it the default.

I pretty much do the same thing. I think what I hate about vim almost, vi but not the same. My fingers screw up
when I use it. For
instance, he 'fixed' undo.
Holy crap Clem, you need to embrace that. His undo goes back forever.
And you can undo the undo and go forward forever.
Not liking that puts you in the "get off my lawn" old guy camp. Which
is fine if that's who you want to be (sometimes I'm that guy).
