vi is also a modal based editor. It's connection to Tcl is that there are several vi-like editors which provide an embedded Tcl interpreter, which can be programmed to manipulate the text. Others support Tcl syntax highlighting, etc.

Some of these are:

Elvis supports Tcl syntax highlighting
vile supports Tcl syntax highlighting
vim supports Tcl syntax highlighting and supports embedding Tcl in the editor
nvi supports an embedded Tcl interpreter
tcltags generates vi tags files, for locating symbols in files being edited.
