You have obviously never worked with Wordstart or one of it off shoots in dos then cus joe follows the same keyboard shortcuts / functions joe is great drn vi is way way way too much like edlin to be used nightmares are made of lesser things .
It looked a lot like dos wordperfect... I was fine once I found ^k+h ;-)
Now you know how we feel when we suddenly find ourselves inside vi, till we learn about "[esc]:q!" or "killall vi" if we dont! >:-)

I always end up resorting to the latter even had the man page up but ho humm .
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!!!!!
