Well, it's not so much I prefer vi over something else (in fact, my editor of choice is a vi-clone (but not vim)). It's the fact that if I type 'vi' at the prompt, I want 'vi'. Not something that's proud of not being vi. If you call a bird a duck, you better make sure it walks and talks like one. Abigail
