People are sensitive about their text editors.
I'm no exception... :-)
The new "vi" has two new flaws IMHO...
o The ESC timeout is too short. My definition of too short is
that when you're telneted to another machine on the same
Ethernet segment, and up arrow sometimes gets misinterpreted
as ESC, A, causing it to open a new line, insert an A, etc. etc.
o Sometimes when I exit out (maybe via control-z) it displays some
message in reverse video at the bottom, but forgets to reverse
it back, so now everything on the command line is in reverse video.
