Well, I think you're in the minority. Most agree (including myself)
that the vi emulation mode in ae does more harm then good.
When we have a vi-alike which is small enough to squeeze on an
oversqueezed floppy, then we'll consider it. Right now it's moot,
because we don't.
Aside from that, I think the best we can hope for is an "expanded
rescue" situation, i.e., an optional two- or three- floppy rescue
image, or (Corel is working on this) a rescue system bootable from a
CD or other media.
