I used to love emacs, for many years it was basically my shell :-)
However, I've spent a lot of time working on other people's servers, and
don't always have the opportunity to install extra software.

I'd tend to say that if you *don't* know how to do minimal edits in vi,
then you will have severe problems working on new/other machines. Many
of you are not in this situation, being workstation administrators. But
the rest of you ... ?
