When I control it, I have everything I want. When I'm out consulting, that control is gone. In those cases, I view vi as a tool of last resort....and one I have to resort to often. And it sure beats editing config files with sed or ed. Sure, containers are changing this dynamic but they aren't ubiquitous yet. I think Bryan's onto something with the break-fix vs rebuild-fix idea, too. In that regard, the two most commonly requested additions to the objectives are more security and more troubleshooting (aka break-fix?). The latter of which may or may not include text editing. --matt -- G. Matthew Rice <[email protected]> gpg id: 0x17CF9077 Executive Director, Linux Professional Institute
