Here, by default, everyone uses Epsilon (the Werewolf Editor, as I call it). B'harni Almighty, I *NEVER* had so many *fights* with an editor where even just hitting <esc> multiple times screws things up. I even told people that the day '[g]vim' becomes /verboten/ is the day I give notice. But the fact of life, and what Pointy-Haired Boss has to understand, is that when you're forbidden from using tools which make you *productive*, then quite obviously productivity suffers. It takes you longer to do the same task, the project ends up behind schedule, and so on down the line. If a mechanic were only allowed to use "approved" pliers and was charged with changing a set of spark plugs, vs being able to use the proper-sized sockets, could he be faulted for taking a whole day to change *1* car's plugs, if he could even do it at all? When the garage owner complains about his "lack of productivity", whose fault is it *really*? All I know is that I wouldn't put myself on the hook and have to work unpaid hours because of PHB's and/or the company's own stupidity.
