Point taken, snag being I've never used any nix box in anger.
This thread reminds of the good 'ole days when I were a lad using
TPU on VMS. Have we got any VMS aficionados here?
Though I'm personally far more vitriolic about VMS vs $OS (had a few
souring experiences with VMS in college) than I am regarding Vim vs.
Emacs, you can get Vim for at least OpenVMS:

I presume sources compile fairly well on other flavors of VMS if
needed, and I'd expect Emacs can do likewise[1]
I used to use tpu (used to have piles of tpu macros..) and I first got used
to emacs by using its tpu mode - I see that still exists so you can use
emacs and pretend it is really tpu!

Well knock me down with a feather, clevor Trevor[1], might have to give
that a go, thanks.
