From the keyboard of darylb@sword.eng.hou.compaq.com (Daryl Biberdorf):
:Personally, I like command-based editors like XEDIT (because I can't
:remember keystroke commands), where it's fairly obvious where the command
:line is and where "HELP" can be typed to get some results.

Well, I guess some people's minds just work differently than do others'.
If I couldn't remember important details, I'd work on a factory line.
