I'm afraid this is just one those 'blue touch papers', i.e. light and
standback.......
I'm in support for both a 'Micky Mouse' (tm) style editor and a 'real' one.
(OK I like Vi - it's very powerfull once you know the commands, but it IS
difficult to learn).
It should be difficult to do either (or both)...
