Whenever LPI retires vi from his requirements I will know the time to retire LPI from my CV as a serious certification has arrived.
Vi has been the standard editor from a long ago, other unix systems (HPUX,AIX, solaris etc) heavily trust in vi (I know LPI is linux, but learning linux has a side effect of learning unix in some way, and believe me there are plenty of unix systems ), vi will be the tool you will always find available, vi is powerfull, plenty of options and capabilities, other editors (nano, pic etc) may seem easier (I wouldnt say they are easier but just diferent) but do not fullfill vi capabilities and power. I understand the point of putting vi to death if thats stated by some newbie who comes from wintel systems who gets frustrated, its the only logic, you would never find a serious unix senior sysadmin going against vi. For what I think vi will be alive forever, and I wouldnt want it in any other way :) (that last sentence is just my personal though) Regards 2015-04-10 21:23 GMT+02:00 Ted Jordan, JordanTeam Learning LLC < [email protected]>: > i personally love vi.
