[ Lots of text deleted ...]

I agree on almost everything that Richard Nuttall wrote. Personally I
have been using NewWord, Wordstar, RED, ISPF (IBM), XEDIT, Brief and so
on...

When I think of it, it is two things I would like to see in 'vi'.
Coloumn cut-and-paste (with the marked block in standout or inverse
video) and the ability to edit more than two files simultaneously.
