	Now you have departed from technical discussions of feature
 sets to something totally subjective. There can never be any user
 interface that is totally intuitive for all humans. No matter what
 one does, there shall be people who shall find it non-intuitive.

	I know what you mean about deterirating short term memory as
 one grows older. However, thankfully, I have not yet reached the
 point where I can't remember vi keystrokes, though I only use vi once
 in a blue moon.
