Several peopling keep making a point which is slightly "annoying" to me,
which is, if all you want to do is simple editing then don't worry about
the fact that you are using VI.  I don't use EMACS, I use JOVE, and so I
don't use any of the complicated features of emacs.  Instead I use the
basic features I have come to take for granted, like multiple buffers,
more than one window, interactive shells, automatic compilation and
error/grep parsing capabilities.  JOVE is smaller than VI, so you don't
need huge, slow programs to get a lot of the nice functionality that I
have come to take for granted.  The thought of using an editor which only
lets me have one buffer at a time is just horrifying ...  VI is good for
sending mail and news, but forget it if you are writing a paper, a
program, or anything else that isn't mail or news.
