Same here.

Hahaha, yep.  I use nano for nearly every text-editing task (including 
writing this message from within MultiMail).  The one 
use I still have for vim is that it can deal with "Ctrl-A" codes in a 
SBBS file.  In case it wasn't widely known, you can add a Ctrl-A code in 
vim by first doing "Ctrl-V", then "Ctrl-A", then the actual color code 
or whatever.  I don't know another "plain" text editor that does that.  
Very useful to me every now and then.



... So easy, a child could do it. Child sold separately.
