I use stevie at the moment on the amiga, because I use all types of
unix machines at university and hate changing editors (it slows me
down).  BUT it is annoying enough (missing enough of the good stuff)
that I will drop it as soon as the ELVIS port for the amiga is out.  I
use elvis on the atari ST and under MINIX on the amiga, and have found
that it has nearly all of the features that I require in a vi clone.
Stevie is just not up to scratch, but it will do until elvis is
finished (Z [from MANX] just does not compete)
