On Cygwin (32-bit version at least), vi is not vim.

    $ which vi
    /usr/bin/vi
    $ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/vi
    vim-minimal-8.0.0596-1

    $ which vim
    /usr/bin/vim
    $ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/vim
    vim-8.0.0596-1

If you want to get vim by typing vi, you can use an alias, e.g.,

    alias vi=vim

Regards,
Gary
