Well, not if you're accustomed to TS-EDIT on the Tandy Color Computers! vi
is a superset (I believe -- been a long time since I used TS-EDIT) but the
CoCo clone is a fairly complete implementation of it.

One thing about vi / TS-EDIT: 'tis a pain in the rear to use, until you get
accustomed to the commands. If you do become highly accustomed to editor,
you can go *very fast* with it.

Boy, I miss those good old days... ;-)
