I'm feeling old now... I've been using vi for 35y now and was happy when I got vi.exe on a dos box, as I hated edit. I still don't like 'simple' editors like nano/joe.
I used kill to get out of emacs when trying it agter 7y of vi usage, so I get the need to get mideval on editors users aren't used off. ;)
vi has always been my bane because I'm a sloppy typist. I can't count the number of files i had to fix because they ended with :q i like nano because the commands are ctrl + whatever. i don't make a mess.
I'm a sloppy typer as well, but somehow I notice my mistakes while I make them and correct them on the go.
What doesn't help is that the readout of the keyboard hasn't changed (got faster) since decades, which sometimes hinders me more then my sloppyness.
