LOL.

Perhaps you have not encountered the vi editor

My favorite "early" application of all times just had to be Xtree !

Agreed!

There's nothing wrong with vi.

I can have started it, done a bunch of edits on a file and exited
before Word has even finished loading.

Having said that, I can remember going to a presentation by Andrew
Tanenbaum during which he said the same about 'ed' in comparison to
'vi'

Mind you it was in 1982.
