With a bit of background with a truly powerful text editing system-Xerox Viewpoint w/Document Editor-- from which billy & boys stole much but are not even close to catching up with yet--the power in vi is intuitively obvious. With just a _little_ practice, switching modes with the left little finger is _remarkably_ fast. Doesn't hardly interrupt a thing. But, boy oh boy, a little documentation would help a _lot_, and it seems the new edition of "famous vi book" is _never_ coming out as promised.
