Is there a windows based version of VI(M)? as I would like to see the
XML syntax feature you mentioned.

http://www.vim.org/

There's also the Windows version. Vim is the successor to vi, so you can
safely use it.

BTW: it's allways important to know the basic vi commands. You might
have to log in remote on a machine and fix something - if at least
something works, vi will also work...

To stop a holy war: The whole world knows that <insert favourite editor>
the best in the whole mulitverse, and everybody who doesn't believe it
is an idiot.

And of course, every experienced unix professional knows the original "vi" was already perfect. These so called "improvements" in vim are simply a bunch of dumb bandaids and cruches to help out those lazy people who don't have 6 months to learn *real* vi and who think every editor ought to work like notepad in windows. So what happens if you have to access a system remotely and the terminal emulation is broken so you can't do a full screen visual edit of a file. You better be able to find your way around in ed ... at least well enough to reconstruct an ascii terminfo file by hand from scratch!
