Make that a minority of two. I had no trouble getting it to work (unlike emacs); every time you hit a wrong key, the help screen comes up. My only complaint is that it autoinstalls updated packages. There have been a number of times that I wanted to grab one new package via ftp install, and came up with 10 megs of updated packages. (Not bad at work, but can be annoying on a 28.8 connection.)
