Good editor and VI in the same breath are oxymoronic.  Why not take the
time to learn a REAL editor on which is made for the PC?  They are so
much better than VI, that you will be surprised how you lived with
VI for so long.  VI was hot shit when yoiu could only guarantee a
serial terminal with alphabet and control keys, but in these days of
extended keyboards and direct video access on the PC, using VI is a
bit wierd.
