I don't really think we need to revive that religious war.

That said, any editor where the answer is "look it up" to anything you 
want to do, is an editor you should not use, in my book.

I'm about at the same level as Rich. I can use vi in an emergency, but 
getting emacs or teco is always among the first things I do on any 
system I use. Or atleast nano, or *anything* besides vi (and relatives).
