I checked out his page. Personally, I think vi is a throwback from
the 1970's, but damn is it powerful. vi is not so much a tool, but a
way of thinking. We had a six hour outage when the /opt filesystem
filled up and the GUI interface to the appserver was being used to
reconfigure it. With a full filesystem, every file the GUI change
was nulled out. If the genius was using the command line, and had
made a backup copy of the files he was changing and then did an ls -l
to confirm the backup worked, he would have realized there was a
problem. But no!!! He had to use the GUI, and I had to search the
whole /opt system for zero length files that were modified that day
and then find a backup copy for them. What a pain. That was what
cinched it for me: I HATE GUI TOOLS.
