Date: 2008-03-05 01:58 am (UTC)As for vi (or as I like to think of it, 6), I tried to learn it exactly twice. I learned my lesson and avoided it from then on. Emacs was only a little better, being primarily WYSIWYG, but the version I came in contact with demanded you memorize long and complicated text commands to do anything more substantial than basic text editing. I was happy when I discovered I could access pico from outside pine, and happier still when I discovered someone had made the pico run-alike nano and bundled it in Ubuntu.
Lately I am discovering the joys of gedit.
Microsoft Word and OpenOffice's Word Processor are more my speed, being graphical menus. The truth is, I'd much prefer Emacs if I could just avoid having to memorize all the command codes straight out of the gate.
You wouldn't happen to know of a version of Emacs like that, would you?
