If you let yourself get used to vi, you will never go back to pico.
The sheer power vi gives you.... and with so few keystrokes.
To save and exit, just type [ESC]ZZ
Try typing that. You'll be amazed how easy it is.
Or to go to the beginning of the file, type [ESC]1G
Or to the end: [ESC]G
What if your C compiler tells you, "error on line 615"? In vi is so
simple: vi file.c, then 615[ENTER]
Thats all. type line number and hit enter as soon as you pop it up on
the source code. I've never seen another text editor that makes it
that simple. I don't think it can GET simpler =]

Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be
just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women.
No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it"
text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving,
dangerous.
