Correct.

I have become a fan of EVE, and recommend EDT for new VMS users whose
terminals don't have a keypad.

But some people like to try a new OS without having to learn a new
editor. And since a previous administrator thought it was worthwhile to
install VIM and VILE, I don't feel like deleting them unless they cause
unfixable problems. Will give Vim 9.1 a try.
