   Uh ... I never liked vi when I started with Unix in 1990 (coming from an   
   experience with editors on IBM mainframes, HP RTE and VAX VMS mini's   
   :-)). Nor I liked the GUI-notepad-likes available on thos Unixes. My   
   preferred editor has always been and still is THE, The Hessling Editor,   
   a clone (available for Unx, Linux and I guess even Windows) of the IBM   
   VM/CMS XEDIT  ... google for "orthodox editors" :-)   
      
   Only for occasional quick things I stand pico.
