Well, I'm not good at vi. As a lazy guy (TM) I honestly prefer
ee, as long as the cursor keys work. If they don't, well, I
have a "vi keyboard reference" in my "extremely important
documentation folder" - and yes, it is a real folder, not a
directory. :-) So if everything fails, there's still vi and
the content of /rescue to get you back working.

Maybe this is because vi scared me when using WEGA (which is
the GDR's equivalent of UNIX System III, run on the P8000
multi-user workstation). Well, we were all young, many many
years in the distant past. :-)

When Bill G. arrives at the pearly gate, ol' Pete won't ask
him what he did do, instead send him to MICROS~1 C:\HELL.EXE
with the advice to click on the devil to start the everlasting
pain. :-)
