Correlation between vi and convoluted software architecture

I adore vi but use windows. Searching for vi on windows I can't help but notice: every vi clone is a complicated mess.

There is something about vi that attracts schizos. Or maybe the other way: vi molds you into a mental midget.

You're supposed to use Visual Studio on Windows. It's literally the best IDE in existence and possibly the reason for Windows's desktop dominance the past two decades.
You would have to be a schizo to use anything else if you're on Windows, honestly.
