[Sussex] Vi?

[Angelo Servini]

Hi Geoff / Slug members.

I had a browse through the Unix Power Tools book I bought about six months
or so ago...  This book was the one I was going to send back because it said
UNIX on the front instead of Linux.  Verr nice book.  Thanks for advising me
to keep it (Geoff Teale).  It is a very well written book and does exactly
what it says on the can.  It now has sparked me off to investigate the
command line a bit more, especially shell scripting.

Now here's the question.  Now .. now .. no flaming please!

Which is better, Vi or Emacs?

Do they fulfil a similar role or is it worth learning both?

(Right.  Im standing back and lighting the blue touch paper.......)
