Yes, nowadays Vim is in every Debian installation (priority "important"
for vim-tiny). The popularity graph by installs (percent) shows that
vim-common is basically in everyone's system:

But Vim is not only installed; it's really used a lot. In Debian Vim has
always been a bit more popular than Emacs but in the first half of 2007
Vim really got popular (around Vim 7.1 and Debian 4.0 release). This
"used actively" graph compares vim-common, emacs21-bin-common and
emacs22-bin-common packages:
