- I'll add another vote for vi!
-
- Of course, I have been accused of liking all manner of editors sporting arcane,
- confusing, or are otherwise deadly single keystroke commands. I think
- the worst (best?) of that genre was an editor known as SPEED on DG's
- DOS and RDOS systems. As an example, the command `23t' would
- display 23 lines, the command `23y' would kill your buffer 23 times
- over - look at your keyboard, notice that t & y are adjacent!
- DG later wimped out on AOS and made some of the more glaring acts of self-
- destruction require confirmation.
-
- Seriously, I find vi fast, compact, powerful, and (almost) universally
- available. As for multiple buffers, that's what windows are for...
- Hmmm, maybe I should port vi to my Macinslash!?!?
