Wha?! Nothing matches the power of vi or emacs. Nothing. If you don't want the power, or don't need the tool, fine. I get that. But calling vi terrible, is like complaining that a sledgehammer is terrible, because you want to hang a picture, and that's all you have.

That's the thing. I want to hang a picture.

  That is why you use Emacs. It has `M-x picture-mode` and its successor, `M-x artist-mode'.

    right. I have no idea what that is.

      It's a joke.

    Or stay inside vi, and just filter your picture through the standard unix tool for hanging pictures.

  Have you tried Windows or macOS? They are really good at hanging pictures.

    I thought we established we're using sledgehammers for that?

Vi is not a sledgehammer, it’s more like laser cutter from dead space. It can both cut huge monsters and make laser cuts on your organs.
