I know Vi fans in their 20s, people born well after I first used it and disliked it on SCO Xenix. I didn't fall in love with my first editor (probably the full-screen BASIC editor on the Commodore PET), or with Sinclair BASIC's (which was pretty horrible but Beta BASIC made it better: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_BASIC ) And the SAM Coup?'s BASIC -- written by the same chap -- was much more pleasant as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAM_Coup%C3%A9 But really nothing to love. Then I learned VAX/VMS at Uni and I didn't love EDT, although later I learned Edlin on DOS in my first job, and that made me miss EDT very badly. I think it was probably only when DR-DOS and MS-DOS 5+ included decent full-screen CUA editors that I actually found ones I _liked_ using. Which is why I want to properly CUA-ify Emacs -- and *no* cua-mode is _not_ an acceptable answer -- but dear hypothetical deities, the resistance from the Emacs fans... yeesh. -- Liam Proven ?
