There was a time when I HAD to use vi and, with a printed-out tutorial 
in my hand, I was able to do what I needed to do, cursing it all the 
while and thinking, who could possibly make use of such a thing?  Yet, 
I've seen people just fly in vi, so it would be wrong to diss it for 
being awkward when some people seem to have made it second nature.

VAX EDT was the first text editor I used heavily, and emacs is more like 
EDT, so I gravitate toward emacs in text mode.  I use kedit in X.

I'm just a-fannin' those flames o' war!
