Vile, or Elvis, maybe even nvi. Anything but vim. Why? Because every time you run Vim, you risk orphans in Uganda getting a few pennies from donations... do you want that on your conscience?

Those pennies don't actually go to orphans. They go to condom manufacturers.

Possibly not today, but I don't see how it could have been done elsewise at the time and still have had any success. People aren't going to use a dog-slow kernel that spends half of its time context switching just because it's theoretically pretty.
Even today you hardly see people running out and installing Minix on their servers, now do you?

Yeah yeah, microkernels have greater overhead compared to other designs but in today's system, the overhead is completely acceptable in many situations. Microkernels are perfect for commodity general purpose systems such as PCs.

minix did just fine with a microkernel at the time.
the only reason linux was more popular then was that linux was free as in free beer and minix was not.
