Vi is so much better than Emacs!!!! Emacs isn’t even really a text

terminal text editor. like “Edit” was in MSDOS-days-of-yore. If I’m
going to delete a single line in a text config file from the /etc
directory, say remove a line from my Debian apt.sources file, then I
don’t need everything Emacs offers. I’m even over-doing it by using
Vi… I should be using Ed for something like that. But then I don’t
have any friends named Ed, so that won’t work.
There … someone stood up for Vi. C’mon you zealots. Crucify me!!!!! <a

Ms. O'neal? o.0 If you were referring to AJ I believe he replied to a
few things last month on Ubuntu. He doesn't exactly live in Vermont
anymore, but I am almost positive that he still reads from this list.
If you were referring to a Ms. O'neal, then I do apologize for the
useless information. I did not know one existed. My apologies.

Heh. Always … and emacs has improved in the mean time. ;)
Though I lament the fact that Ms. O'Neal hasn't been active in the
group
for a while, so someone may need to step up and represent for vi.
