 I've been using vi for so long that any other editor just slows me
down (my last serious attempt to use something different was Brief under
MSDOS, I gave up on when I realised that I kept launching vi by reflex),
with vi I don't have to think about the mechanics of editing anymore. The
best editor is always the one you know best, just like the best layout
style is the one chosen by the team you're working in.
