	Then that's all that matters. Seriously.

	First off, use of the word "guru" is considered rude by people of
Indian descent. :)  Second, real experts don't feel the need to beat you
over the head with their preferences. You could probably consider me in
the "Junior Assistant Expert" category, and one of the first things I do
when I put up a new FreeBSD box is install pine/pico. I use it almost
exclusively for everything other than sendmail stuff, and I know vi
backwards and forwards. (For some reason sendmail config/alias files and
pico don't get along, I'm not sure why.)

	My point is, if you're happy, be happy. I personally don't like ee
because if I'm going to go vi I'd rather go all the way. However it's a
good intro to vi, which you really should learn if you intend to do unix
work in the real world since it's the only thing you're guaranteed to
find wherever you go. Other than that, use what works for you and tell
the others to bugger off. :)
