No idea why...
It was a real pain to enter data. It kept adding junk characters. I had to quit without saving many times for editing a single file. It gave trouble in the terminal too. Finally I dumped it when I accidentally discovered nano while surfing some website.
That is because you have not used the vi navigation keys it is 'h j k l" instead of left, down, up and right arrows - works on any version of vi (while on the command mode).
I have used vi without any problems on older distros.
