Oh har har. Walked right into that one, didn't I?

<QUASI-SERIOUS OPINION>
How sysadmins use vi, amazes me not. vi is very good at altering files. Now how
*coders* use vi to actually compose code, *that* is beyond my understanding.

PS: I just tried to C-y my tags. In a webmail thingy. :) I guess I get spoiled
    by the fact that Mozilla allows me to use C-a and C-e to jump to the
    beginning and end of lines. Do you vi jockeys find yourself hitting dd and
    mad`aP a lot in web browser text areas? :)
PPS: I *do* use vi as my Mutt editor, and to touch up files, and to edit all
     of my config files. Just not to code. For that, XEmacs (note here that
     the X is *not* optional, XEmacs has many coder-friendly features that
     GNU Emacs has not yet adopted).
PPPS: I find it mildly amusing that a holy war rages *within* the Emacs camp:
      X vs. GNU. In case you were wondering where my loyalties lie, I will 
      leave you with this jewel: "Screw GNU!"
