What I meant was that there don't seem to be any that aren't equally as arcane
as vi. In which case I'd just stick with vi for the reasons that have been
mentioned.
Which offers a profound thought that all the editor-writing talent has gone
over to GUIs and nobody finds console-mode editors to be worth their time. I
love the gui, but it isn't without its liabilities.
But I haven't yet looked at the links you provided. Thank you.
