The last line shown here was just peanuts to him...

Since you like vi, I *highly* encourage you to try VIM and its GUI-based counterpart, gVIM. VIM is like vi on steroids and is something I simply can't do without. I've used VIM for over 10 years now and not a day goes by where I don't use it for something. I am a developer and my biggest letdown in using the Eclipse IDE is the lack of good support for vi key bindings because, as you elude to above, they make you so incredibly productive. Sure, I've tried the VIM plugin, but it is less than optimal and in most cases a disappointing experience for the advanced VIM user. At any rate, VIM is available on many platforms and is something I've almost never been without. A day without VIM is a day of dancing between keyboard and mouse - ugh. How unproductive.
