It seems you have not worked on servers which boot up to init 3

The vi editor is a very distinct part of UNIX ideology.
It cannot be avoided if you are a serious hacker.
Several low level utilities use vi.
Of course there is ed which is even more low level.
vipw, crontab -e all use vi
You simply cannot escape it.
Of course I am talking about real UNIX which nobody in LUG seems to know.
They only know Ubuntu, Redhat or Suse or some commercial Linux meant
for beginners.
