 Of course vi is functionally similar to TECO, with the same "[count] command
 [argument ESC]" syntax; merely a few of the command names are different (It's
 those emacs guys that strayed far from the true path). Plus you get regular
 expressions. 
So, how do you write programs in vi???
Besides. Who needs regular expressions? In TECO, you can do more...

Need I say that I don't consider vi similar to TECO at all? Atleast 
proper Emacs (not GNU-Emacs) still have TECO in the bottom.
