I find X and pixel-ized window systems in general (SUN especially) to be a pain in the eyes for doing straight text work. As the sole techie in sales at Streamlined Networks, I get dragooned into the troff part of our brochures, and that's why I use X. When I lay out stuff, I edit it in nice big letters with VI on one screen and xtroff it on the X screen. Text in X is also painfully slow. Tool makers don't tell tool users how to use tools.
