Yes, there is nothing particularly wrong with "vi" at all.. I have been 
using it for 15 years and am quite comfortable with it....

...my webhosts withdrew shell access from my sites recently, though, so 
I am now using a package called FTPEditor... again, a fine product... 
only $15 to register... and it enables one to escape this GUI WYSIWYG 
trap....

Am reasonably happy with my webspace at present, and it doestn't cost 
much (could not equate it to £/site as I host so many of my own... 
loadsa domains...)
