(a) vim shouldn't ask this question. It should install itself if there isn't a vi already installed, and not if there is, just like the other vi clones. (b) The question doesn't make it clear that it's only going to install itself as /usr/bin/vi. At first I recoiled in horror, thinking it might edit /etc/profile to set EDITOR or something ...
