Although I also carry a spear for vi, I *like* having emacs around; I think it is a wonderful non-unixy editor ideally suited for the people who like that sort of editor. > My shame is all the things in vi I have to ask about to turn off.

Figure it out once, and turn it off in the appropriate rc file. . . Unless you're trying to drill it into your brain. I am that way with passwords -- I need to log in daily for a couple of weeks, otherwise I forget 'em. [snip] > It's depressing when even your editor's smarter than you are. Nah.
