You're going way back in time there though. I started like the other kids in my generation with BASIC on 8bit home computers, but my first paying programming job (early nineties on a shared Unix workstation which crashed about once a day, much more reliable than the Windows PCs of that era), I was given the vi cheat sheet. At first I thought that was worse than CP/M, but it did grew on me quickly. At home I used Emacs on a PC with 8MiB RAM (and it wasn't constantly swapping). Emacs was perfectly usable there, but when using a 9600baud serial terminal, vi was snappier.
