Steve,
I used to think vi was pretty hard. Then I had to start using it on a
unix system. I got used to the codes, and can do what I want in it.
But I've also seen vi experts who can edit code very quickly - much
faster than someone using a mouse. They can get to the text they want
faster from the keyboard than anyone using a mouse can. I'm nowhere
near that, and still prefer a graphics editor (I use Crimson, also).
But there is a lot to say for non-graphic editors.
