I pretty much do the same thing. I think what I hate about vim is that it's
almost, vi but not the same. My fingers screw up when I use it.  For
instance, he 'fixed' undo.   I guess I learned my lesson from my time at
UCB.  Henry Spencer once said, "BSD 4.2 is just like UNIX, only different."  I
rather see something new and completely different than changing behavior
that people rely upon.
