OK, since this is net.flame (something I rarely venture into), I will let fly
with a lot of flame and just enough fact to offend those that the flame doesn't.

OK, you dirty mollusks who eat live and die your silly inefficient editor
that require two hands for every operation - thats right - you emacs/gmacs
users, listen here!

Our human facters people did some studies where they took experienced vi, emacs,
and ed users and gave them a large variety of tasks to do.  Then they sat back
and measured the human efficiency of each, as well as the time it took to do it.

They discovered your sickly little flacky excuse for an editor to 40% more
effort to do the same things as the average vi users did. (ed took 470% more
effort than vi, but then we all knew ed was only good for using in shell
scripts anyway.)

So take that and stuff it up your appropriate parts, and then sit down and learn
an editor that lets you do things in an efficient, minimal keystroke way.

And we haven't even discussed relative CPU efficiency.......
