I wasn't trying to sound bigoted - a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, per http://www.m-w.com. I use Ultraedit for NT more than any other text editor (work). I was merely pointing out that vi is _not_ primitive. It has more features for text editing than 99% of the editors available today. many of these features are accessible from single keystrokes. They are also somewhat cryptic, but not primitive. vi is not fast because it is simple, it has an incredibly sophisticated, read advanced, codebase.
