These are lies of the Emacs and vi folk.
The only *real* editor of UNIX is ed(1).
Here's the proof:

    $ head -56 /usr/local/share/emacs/20.7/etc/JOKES | tail -6
    When I log into my Xenix system with my 110 baud teletype, both vi
    *and* Emacs are just too damn slow.  They print useless messages like,
    'C-h for help' and '"foo" File is read only'.  So I use the editor
    that doesn't waste my VALUABLE time.

    Ed, man!  !man ed

/me ducks and runs
