   Actually, funny related story, I was testing out "vi" on   
   Android, which, if you can imagine, is even *worse* than   
   vi on Linux with respect to "cryptic commands".   
      
   I was testing vi, while driving, and it was just so difficult   
   to edit and save and search, etc., using the real vi commands   
   (e.g., escape colon w q bang) on a cellphone while driving that,   
   for the first time ever, I had to pull over just to complete the   
   task (e.g., try typing "escape colon s/abc/def/g return" while   
   driving!).   
      
   After that experience, I joked to my friends that the true test   
   of a mobile apps usability is that you can use it easily while   
   driving.   
      
   So, I would at least say that there should be a law against   
   using "vi" while driving, as that is *not* a car-safe app   
   in the least!   
      
   In other words, the usability of "vi" on Android is atrocious!
