I'll point out that VI also has a confirm mode if you want it. :-)

You missed the point.

Only if you thought I was arguing with you.

With vi, I *must* have some manual/reference document in front of me.

What, you don't have the version with the :help command?

If, in emacs, I don't remember how to *start* doing a search-and-replace, what do I do?

Again, different strokes, YMMV, YAGNI, etc.

A little while ago, I saw a most excellent description of why VI rocks. It was really spot on. And I just can't live without the "." command, myself.
