Doncha just love a good flame war! 

There's been plenty of whining in this thread, and not all from one
source. To summarize again (see approx. 50 posts earlier in the
thread): some like vi, some don't. It's not insinuating anything to
point out how useful vi can be. It's also not insinuating anything to
report the obvious: vi doesn't follow the [sacred and beloved of many]
cut and paste standards used by most gui editors.

There are plenty of high horses to go around.
