For me, that time was college. And it lasted into the first job I had
where I was using Unix -- which was a stock Solaris 2.x machine. That
was when I picked up vi, out of necessity at first; I mastered more of
vi over the course of those three years than I had mastered of emacs in
the entire 7 years that I considered myself an emacs user.
