I agree that VI isn't all that bad once you get used to it.  I've been forced
to use it at work for the past couple of months, but I'm still a novice user.
The thing that really annoys me is that it's beginning to become second nature.
When I go home and use UEdit, I end up inserting h's,j's,k's, and l's all over
the place.  I've gotten into the habit of pressing ESC every time I want to 
move the cursor, and I get confused when I try to exit the file with :x.  Two
more weeks and I get to become a one editor person again.
