Vi (and other mode-switch vietnam-era editors with cult like followings of which there are none) really impaired my first few weeks of comp sci until a t-a showed me there are options. Modal editors were neat when required, but then we got full keyboards and control keys.

Man, does vi suck, but its thuggy PR volunteers do a good job of keeping people from assessing alternatives.

I’m glad there were options.
