VI and Vim

December 2002 GNU/Linux Productivity Magazine: VI and Vim

Speed and power. Life can't get any better.

OH YES IT CAN! You can also have ubiquity. Every system with UNIX, a UNIX variant or a UNIX workalike operating system has VI installed. Once you're good at VI, you can walk into any UNIX installation and get to work, without the need to learn a new editor or install your favorite editor. And once you're really good at VI, it will probably become your favorite editor.
