I'm a Vim guy, I just never got on with emacs, though I might have another go some day.

I just thought I'd thank whoever put up the link to the Hackles comics... my productivity is down to zero today.

Nothing is wrong going with ease of use; however, both vi and emacs have several features that make them much easier to use once you learn them, especially vi, though I'm biased

Also, vi autosaves your changes, so if you forget to save your file you will be prompted of a newer version saved in swap that can be recovered. You can also move around in a document extremely fast with vi, there are largescale cutnpaste options, word search, spellchecker, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc...all hail vi!

You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.
