I used to use Joe for the Wordperfect reasons - until my job turned full
time Solaris support - then I had to learn vi - and it ain't that
difficult to be able to the basics - which cover you for about 90+% of
the things you would do in an editor.

Sometimes when you are on an old DEC serial terminal - with a dead
machine - only vi will understand the terminal properly

Now - I can't stand anything else!!!!!
