It's a popular sport, true. For my part I can use vi, I just don't
like it. Incidentally, I never really learned to use hjkl for
navigation until, some years ago, I went through a spate of playing
nethack. Curiously, gmail by default uses the same keybindings for
navigating the mail folder. I wonder whether the senior ui designer at
google is a vi user or a nethacker ...

I don't know if you do much java programming, but remind me to show
you the refactoring tools built in to the Eclipse editor sometime. Bet
vi can't do that :-)

I only had a brief stint on vms. Can't remember it very well now - I
think I used emacs.

For me, it depends on the task at hand. One of the nice things about
modern linuxes is that you (generally) have an even choice for any
given job, whether to use command line or GUI tools.
