The best thing about vi/nvi/vim is that you do not need to know all the
arcane commands for it to be usable. You can get along quite happily using
just a small subset of them. The beauty of vi lies in the interface
minimalism and ubiquity.

It is still my favorite editor after all these years and still using it on
Linux/*BSD/MS-DOS/AmigaOS.
