I happen to like text-mode consoles for doing my editing. I'll happily
run shell commands in xterms but vi* just looks best in text mode, IMHO.

(P.S. _ I also like ScrlLck and PgUp/PgDn far more than using the scroll
bar in an xterm. And when running Windoze, I usually have at least one
DOS box open, Alt-Enter-ed to be a full-screen text mode DOS shell.
Maybe I'm just old school...).
