(1) I'd prefer to postpone this dicussion till after hamm is released. (2) mc on my system always uses vi, even if I have EDITOR turned off. (presumably because it wants to save my preferences, and doesn't understand that I have different working environments). (3) ae is sufficiently easy to use, and sufficiently small. > What is it people see in vi in terms of _using_ it? Outside the scope of debian-devel. Or, at least, I'd rather concentrate on getting hamm out the door than in editor religious discussions. If you are after opinion (as opposed to discussion), I'll be following this letter with a personal one to you, describing my own concepts of why vi is popular. -- Raul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
