Vi -- and explicitly vim -- is the true tool for veteran Unix geeks who need to get things done and not muck about with the extraneous nonsense that comes with emacs. Emacs has a built-in game of Tetris, for crying out loud. </quote> EMACS == MS Word?!? Tho I am a vim user (gvim more often than not), this is extreme!
