I'm going to finally ask this question.

What is it that is so special about vi?  Does it decompile programs or write
them all by itself or leap tall buildings with a single bound?

Really.  I've been on unix boxes for about 7 years and only used vi when I
had no other choice.  Is there some hidden, undocumented functionallity to it?
