I am! I think my fingers still know most of the octal bootstraps for the
PDP-15 and the PDP-11/45 that I used in the mid-1970s.

Regarding editors and fingers, I've recently been using VMS on a simulated
VAX (on a Pi3), and was surprised that my fingers still knew the keypad
edit sequences for EDT after 20 years of not using it.

On Windows I use Textpad as my primary editor - simple but does syntax
highlighting, and a try before buy business model and low cost.
