Granted, but...
*-y* *easy*
-y Easy mode. Implied for |evim| and |eview|. Starts with
'insertmode' set and behaves like a click-and-type editor.
This sources the script $VIMRUNTIME/evim.vim. Mappings are
set up to work like most click-and-type editors, see
|evim-keys|. The GUI is started when available.
{not in Vi}
Pico was based on microemacs. The most useful thing they added was the
justify command, and the tool option. I just find any editor lacking the
ability to easily mangle text to be insufficient for me, so I prefer Vi at a
bare minimum. I tend to use Emacs for large projects, and Vim for smaller
work.
