We already have nano in [core], so I think that vim could stay in [extra] (do we really need 2 text editors in [core] ?).
Vi is the standard UNIX text-editor. Many admins rely on the fact that vi is available everywhere. It really should be in core.
Also, I know you might be referring to "plain vi", which is a completely different beast to Vim, but the latter (which provides "vi" too) has a *huge* userbase. Calling it crap is just bizarre...
