Just my stupid 0.02xx

The *x editor is either vi or emacs everything else is just a mock up.
If vi crashes ( and I don't think you want to port emacs to a embedded 
system ) this is just a bunch of ***p.

Before 4.x we had a pretty usable vi, with probably all the bugs one can 
think of. The busybox stuff may be nice but is typically just a meager 
replacement for the REAL thing. I am under the impression that for the 
sake of new platforms and kernel features we are loosing some of the 
stability and usability of former releases.

Now just wish me to hell :-)
