Actually, I too know several people who would consider EMACS, but feel that
it does an excessive about of screen painting.

This is particularly true on a 1200 baud line. I've done hacks like cut the
display in 1/2 if I'm at 1200 baud, but it doesn't cure the fact that there
is a lot of cursor motion going on. Vi seems to handle this is a manner which
is less objectionable.
