That used to be true, at least for vi (not vim). But recently some Linux 
distros have switched their default editor to nano (a clone of pico) and 
don't install vim by default anymore.

Back in the early 2000s I remember having to connect to some "network 
appliances" running some stripped-down UNIX system that didn't even have 
vi, just plain old ed. I did not enjoy that.
