What about starting with a simple message:

I'd be surprised if vi(m) couldn't be configured to do this.

I think you would need to try hard to un-configure that behaviour.

That has been the welcome message for a very long time, either in the GUI,
typing vim or many (most?) linux distributions typing vi.

But only before you open a file, if you type vi <filename> you will not see the message, you will see your file.

Do you notice, how much this changes the user experience ?? Almost
effortlessly !

indeed. And:


It just delays the problem by a few seconds. You can't use vi without
understanding its different modes etc.
