Please note that Dion's comments are only one person's opinion
(certainly not mine).  I've tried any number of different editors,
but swear by vi to this day.  (I also refuse to get involved in a
religious war on this topic.  Suffice it to say that different people
like different editors, okay?)

Now that that's said, I can heartily endorse MKS's vi.  I actually
like it a bit more than the real vi on my Sys V machine... ;')
