Re: VI reasons (was Re: Base Set: Suggested additions & removals.)
greet all,
I am no guru. But let's stop this war! To me, choice of editor depends on
your experience, skill and task on hand. I use vi and my boss at work uses
emacs. We both like our own choice very much and enjoy the way our choice
works for us. But we never try to "convert" each other, fortunately.
For the experience of being converted to something else,
if you are a buddist, try being converted by a Christian or vice versa.
If you don't believe in any form of god, you are free to choose one or
create your own:-)
have a peaceful sunday.
