That's because the terminals it was designed to work on
didn't have any way of displaying a cursor between two
characters. Emacs is the same (except it doesn't go as
far as having two different insertion modes -- you just
think of the insertion point as being to the left of
the character that the cursor is on).
I would say that's about the *least* weird thing about
vi[m] though... :-(
