I first learned vi back in the 80's when I worked with many forms of Unix. Of was the only consistent editor across all the BSDs, SCOs, etc. In the early-mid 90s through early 2k most of my work was windows based. I remember a Mellenium project where I was needing to change over 300 FoxPro modules. I pulled out a window version of vim, and you should have seen the odd looks I got from all the windows guys. Then the look of horror that came across there face as they saw how much more productive I could be with regular expressions. I have been pretty much 100% Linux all the time for the past 10 years, and I use vi for everything I can, it just sorta becomes automatic after a while.

I really liked Teco - especially the direct core editing patch - but
then I had to get work done, now I like Vim with the Zeitgeist plugin.
I like jEdit too...
