   Some key initial thoughts from a potential user that might be interesting in using Xi because he loves tinkering with new stuff: * What is Xi? The name reminds me of Vi/Vim, so what makes it better than Vi/Vim? * Is this a fully-f

    I don't think many people want to mix their professional with their personal (facebook). Doesn't facebook have this "Facebook at work thing" that no one uses?
