Maybe so, but you are not comparing (or compering) apples to apples here
(unintentional pun).

I am firmly convinced that, given EQUAL EXPERIENCE with vi and with a
comparable editor on the Mac, the average person will be much more
productive with the Mac.  Especially if that experience is limited, or
occasional.

Remember:  "user friendly" is another term for "whatever the user is
accustomed to."
