I don't understand why I see folks (not in Mangolassi) moan about the "difficulty" of vi. Once you learn the commands you use most often, it's easy. Now I'd have to look up some stuff, but for my use right now, in execute mode w, x, q!, and in command mode: i, dd, and cc complete almost all of my needed tasks.

@EddieJennings Agreed. It's not the editor of choice, but for simple edits, I need to remember like 4-5 "commands."

I know how to use it. I simply don't unless I have to.

Every time I hear someone talk about how great vi is, I have an image of them using one of these still in my head....

vi is the way to go. For the basic editing it is stupid easy and is always present.

83 key keyboard. vi is the bees knees if you've only got 83 keys to work with. Nothing like a modern keyboard/editor. Even with nano, I never have to take my hands off the keyboard.

User's ticket (paraphrased): Foo Blah Doe starts training tomorrow and needs E-mail, phone extension, etc.
Me: Is Blah her middle name or part of her last name? If the latter, is it hypenated?
User: Hey there! Foo Blah is her name. It is not hyphenated.
Me: So her first name is "Foo Blah" and her last name is "Doe," correct?
