I use =vi= because I haven't seen another visual editor on UNIX(registered trademark of AT&T) that can keep up with me. I've even tried GNU-emacs on a SUN-3/50, and it's still just too slow. I can't type when the editor is 3 or 4 words behind. I need to see what I'm typing as I type it or my error rate goes to 1 very quickly. I type about 50-80 WPM in normal C/assembler editing.
