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
