I am in 100% agreement with this. In my opinion, vi is the *worst*
screen-oriented editor that I have ever had the misfortune of using.
I am always finding new "features" that I wasn't aware of. Unfortunately,
the new features I discover usually wipe out random pieces of text
in mysterious ways that are difficult to reverse.
It all comes of trying to make "ed" look like a screen editor. What
a kludge!
