You don't understand the POWER of the dark side. *Woosh-Waaa*
I can do that in vim. OO, OO, can I show you?
70 0yyPR
(Enter text same way you did)
What that was. "Enter 70 spaces, goto beginning of line, yank line, paste
it back in, enter replace mode." That gives me two lines with 70 blank spaces
that I am replacing so I can do exactly what you did without the feature you
said I had no possibility of doing it. Meanwhile, I get to do some nifty
things return, return, return, up, 4 spaces, up, up, down, down, EOL, be back
at the 4 spaces.

Yes, he is making sense. He doesn't like it. Getting used to it isn't
part of that. I'm used to Windows, I don't like it. I knew I didn't like it
from day one.
I'm used to TB!'s internal editor, I don't much care for it. Being used to
it isn't part of that equation, either.
Just like some people don't like Unix even though their not being used to
it has nothing to do with it. Of course, in that case, their wrong, but hey.
;)

I believe you're missing the point of having total control. I put 4
spaces on that line, I want them to be there when I get back regardless of me
going up to add text to another paragraph that I just thought of. They should
remain there until *I* tell it to leave. Just because can do that does not
spend I do
compensate for all the time I putting I that
spaces because
back
more
than
I this.
