sudo apt-get install vim
Not hard.
No reason to change default.

Vim-tiny is really terrible and I got frustrated trying to figure out why it didn't include any documentation. I know this is pretty insignificant, but it would be nice...

I am a KDE user, so I vote for 'vim' and against 'vim-gnome'.

There's no reason not to include vim full!
It has me frustrated for ages thinking I had my keyboard layout set wrong or something...

I've tried sudo apt-get install vim, as well as sudo apt-get install vim-full. They didn't work.
Tonight, I think I found out why: it seems that vim depends on ctags, which is a virtual package that contains one option. Because it's a virtual package, it apparently won't automatically resolve the dependency.
Aptitude also failed to resolve the vim-scripts dependency, although I don't know why. When I tagged that one, it had two dependencies (libtemplate-perl, perlsgml) which aptitude had failed to resolve. Aptitude resolved the dependency for libtemplate-perl on its own, and perlsgml's dependency was already installed.
This shouldn't be that difficult. At no point in this did I have to make any choices on *which* package to use to resolve a dependency, and even if such a choice had to be made, it should be possible for apt-get to either ask or choose an intelligent default (that is, something other than vim-tiny.)

that thing happend to me, and I thought some settings was wrong until i googled this page. i tried these.
sudo aptitude install vim-common
but nothing changed, then did
sudo aptitdue remove vim-common
after above cmd, i couldn't enter vi either.
i tried
sudo aptitude install vim
it installed the full one that i could set up the options that
is not supported in tinyy version. i know it doesn't make sense but it worked perfectly. :)
