I started on 8-bitters.  On minis, I first encountered EDT (on VMS),
then Emacs (on UNIX, AmigaDOS, and even VMS), then years later when I
was working for Lucent/Bell Labs, vi...

I'm all kinds of messed up, but mostly I use vi(m) these days.  It's
not perfect (oh, buy, it's not perfect!) but I can have the same
experience going from platform to platform to platform.  That's worth
it.
