Bill Joy's own docs and comments on the origin of vi and the terminals it was designed for contradict your opinions.
I've given examples with supporting evidence. What evidence have you given to back up your claims?
I didn't invent any quotes. The quotes I posted -- using the widely-accepted quotation mark convention of English (assuming your keyboard has those!) -- are clearly indicated. The "vi is lame" statement is my own summary of your opinions expressed in this thread, it is not attributed to you as a quote but as a sentiment. Thus the lack of surrounding quotation marks.
But maybe let that bone go and try to produce any evidence supporting the meager meat of your arguments about early terminals and the history of vi.
