Frankly, is is a disservice to introduce anyone with that
opinion to Linux, for they shall never be able to take care of the
machine itself, and they shall go away bad mouthing Debian. Actually,
anyone who thinks they need a PhD or 10 year experience in unix
sysadmin to use vi have probably attained neither (and definitely
can't attain the latter); and we should do our ver best to keep them
well away from computers, and probably matches and sharp objects as
well.
