If you just do ":E" it will put both windows on the current file,
exactly the same as vim. But both do it wrong (IMHO) as the second
window starts at the same place (e.g top of the file). In the Rand
Editor if the split is at line N, the bottom window shows lines N+1.
Exact same behavior for vertical split (the left and right side
windows show the same portions as before).

Not really the same. :sp splits your window in half and puts you in
two different windows on the same file. Each window, in vim, is full
on vi, you can do :e fillename and now that window is on that file.
