Are you a touch-typist? That's perhaps the most important thing -- not having to look at the keyboard. Well, do you use hjkl to move, or do you take your hands off the home row to use the arrow keys? (If not, play some rogue/ularn/nethack...) The thing about vi is that even those who are proficient aren't likely to use all of the features available. -Stewart "And then there's the customization aspect" Stremler -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
