LIVE FROM THE ENGINEERING PLAYA DEL CARMEN RETREAT...
I first used vi in 1984 while writing an Operating System for one of my classes. I probably really learned vi while playing
nethack during the summer of 1984. I've used vi in almost every job I've had since then. Even when I was on windows, I used mks toolkit or cygwin. That's a 24 years of vi use. I know that we all love our editor. And I have no desire to get into an editor flame war. The point is that I that I've been using vi for a long time, and it's very comfortable for me.
