Thanks for this. I still remind having one of the kindest TAs of my undergrad remark in a thick Ukrainian accent “ahhh, vi, a true master” and move on to helping folks use pico during a *nix programming primer. (Sometimes ppl would demand I follow the syllabus. I don’t like to follow the guidelines.) You could always use emacs if you’re into that kind of thing, but telling them you should use pico is like telling them to clean their dorm with equal parts bleach and ammonia soaked in castor beans. (Don’t do that.)
