I think there are two camps trying to put forward points here and I'm 
reasonably convinced that the camp arguing strongly for a vim are the camp 
which also plan to us their livecds for rescue and popping in all over the 
place to get a useful basic linux system. I can quite understand that in this 
case having a powerful editor would be extremely useful. However, considering 
purely the case of the installation, and download size I'm sure the 
experienced users who are more likely to be using vi would be able to manage 
editing a single file with nano.

I must say I really liked the idea from earlier on which would allow you to 
easily add things to your livecd easily to make your own custom livecd, then 
you can make it as huge as you want, with vim, emacs or whatever, creating 
your perfect livecd.
