You don't always have KDE but you always have vi or vim. If you're running File/Web/DB server most likely it is runlevel 3 when X is not running and KDE is not available. What if you need to change something in a config. file. Will you change runlevel to 5, start KDE and use graphical editor? What if you need to telnet your box and edit config. file remotely? Will you export display, start KDE and fire up your favorite graphical editor on remote display? Too much work for 2 minute edit. Don't you think so?

KDE has a couple of nice editors, why VI? Why take 40 minutes to learn VI to do a 2 minute edit? Just my 2c. --doug
