Is there any reason why default vi and vim come without clipboard support? I'd expect global register to be active by default. Don't know why I have to install vim-gnome or vim-gtk to enable this.

  • Ubuntu has shipped with a mini.al vi for a long time. I am not sure why but my guess is vi / vim is much less popular than nano and thus minimized figuring advanced users will install what they wish.
