Default vim usage in Ubuntu Bionic feels regressed from 17.10

Using Ubuntu Bionic (server image pre-GA), coming from Centos 7 (i.e. this may not be limited to just Bionic), I find that the vim editor has some very annoying defaults. How can I disable the following;
- Auto-tab insertion in bash code when using if and pressing enter
- Search with '/' requires one to press enter to go back to editing mode and pressing something else - like cursor right - swaps back to the original location instead of the location where one is at.
Both these do not feel like standard/default vim

@sudodus That's useful information in general, but if you're suggesting that this particular question should be closed this near to the release of 18.04, I don't think that's the case. Note that we do not actually regard all Ubuntu+1 questions as off-topic. I don't think this question is about a bug, and the behavior it is asking about is not going to change before the release.

@EliahKagan, I see your point, and I agree. (I did not vote for closing.)

I think this may be a bug or shortcoming in Bionic only, unrelated to VIM. ref discussion below. Also, does a feature freeze mean there are no more code changes, even if there are bugs?

I found the answer in another thread
Open ~/.vimrc and add this;
:set nocompatible
This fixes all 3 issues to how they were in 17.10:
- No more odd reactions when you search with '/'
- No more odd tab/space inserts when editing
- No more odd character inserts when using arrow keys in edit mode
I believe this to be a bug in Ubuntu Bionic, at least in the pre-GA release.
