I must agree with both JP Gilliver and nospam that there are many people
who make emotional decisions where they no longer can look objectively at
the problem set.

I wonder if Gvim text editor would be an example of that. ;-)

Naw, probably not.

I smiled with pleasure when I saw your note because you understood that I
am extremely efficient at typing with gvim (which I'm using at this very
moment to type my Usenet posts).

I had an opportunity to use vi yesterday and it immediately became clear
(again) why it has fallen to the wayside over the past 40 years. It used
to be the king of the hill in text editors, probably along with EMACS,
but I don't see anyone using it these days. That's just my personal
observation and not a declaration of the state of the IT world. In fact,
the last time I directly observed someone using it was possibly 10-15
years ago. Still, it exists everywhere, so more power to you for helping
to keep it alive. I'm sorry I can't join you in that endeavor.
