I learned emacs before vi, but I could never remember all of emacs'
complicated keystrokes.  It feels as though there are far fewer commands
to memorize in vi, and the commands that I do memorize are also useful
for writing sed scripts--so the payoff of a little memorization in vi
is greater than the payoff in emacs.

And anyway, I'm a minimalist (that's why I run OpenBSD).  nvi is
fine--vim and emacs just have too much bloat.
