It doesn't matter how many times I've used vi(m), I will /always/ think that
I'm in edit mode right when I open it. Just a natural reaction, or something,
but I start arrowing around and try to type something, just to have it yell at
me and realize that I have to get out of read/command mode.

.. and I know you can launch vim in "easy" mode (-y), but I never remember to
do that and that's completely besides the point, because at that point you may
as well just use nano. ;)

Regards,
Nick
