Couldn't resist. Way back when, in the PICK days, I had used the Jet editor for a while but went back to the line editor. I still use the line editor, these days it's AE... Note, used vi for about 3 months in the mid-90's...

Many of us came up when PICK was native. The line editor was second nature, it better have become second nature since that is what we had. AE is a turbo charged version of the old PICK editor. I am very comfortable with it an can be very productive using it. I tried to pick up vi when the company I worked for went to a Sequoia. I determined that I could be non-productive with vi until it was second nature or continue with the Pick editor. I now use Accuterms WED editor. Easy to use. intuitive. Even the proponents of vi can't say that. Anyway, bottom line, you are going to use what you are comfortable with and productive using.

In fact, I'm the only one in our shop that uses vi on a regular basis. I still can't figure out why the remainder of our programming staff use AE. I agree it has it's place for some tasks, but for day to day editing, I find vi easy to use, and it didn't take too long to get used to, when I learned it years ago. The best part is that you'll find it on most flavors of UNIX boxes, and the basic commands stay the same. -Phil- ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
