Hi m654321,
I have no experience with this kind of dual install, only give you my 2c on the following:
1. There is no need for installing vim if you don't want to. For editing on the command line now and then you can just use vi, an editor that you will find on any Linux/Unix systems. In LL if you run vi you actually start the compact version of vim, which is by default installed (vim-tiny).
BUT, see 3.
2. You can also use a GUI editor like the installed Text Editor (leafpad) if you want to avoid learning vi.
BUT, see 3.
3. grub.cfg is not meant to be edited! It will be overwritten the next time you manually run update-grub or install a new kernel which will trigger off update-grub to be run. If you want to change your GRUB configuration, you need to edit /etc/default/grub and/or the appropriate file(s)n in /etc/grub.d/.
Hope that helps
