Agreed but A) There is gvim which while offering all the usuall keys also has menus for everything (with what the keys are/do), so once you get the hang of the GUI version the text only version acts the same. B) There is a windows version (near identical to the linux version of gvim) C) (g)vi(m) is on just about every linux distro and unix flavour[1]. Still, personally I'd say try them all and use whatever you feel happiest with. Personally I now have a bad habit of trying vi commands in word/outloot etc :-) ^[:wq! ;-) David [1] I learnt it mainly on SINIX-Y 5.43 [2]... [2] Proper UNIX :-)
