I use whatever the machine gives me when I type
vi, I assume it's usually vim-

vitoemacs. Evil, but entertaining. -
vim has a limited "vi-mode" that it uses if you call it as vi. so it could still be vim.

Vim is the preferred experience, so it's for end users. Unless you have a system with no real addons and classic *nix environment, you're almost always going to be using Vim. Alpine linux is a good example of a stripped down environment that still uses Vi.
