Vi vs Emacs again? "No, they are not dinosaurs who don't want to catch up with the times - the community of vi users just keeps growing: myself, I only got started 2 years ago" Using batch to write FORTRAN, the editor was a card punch. On the Deck-writers (teletype) and VT100 terminals, I used to write Pascal, Ed was the only choice. Early Linux use forced your hand, Ed (again? NO) or Vi. This is because Emacs is a 30Mb download and where space was a premium. [0] Try using anything but Vi or Ed with Busybox. [1] So I stick to Vi(m). I can use any cli editor but with much time and effort in Vi usage why change? I can but why?
