Now we know exactly who to blame! 

	"People don't know that vi was written for a world that doesn't
		exist anymore -" 

So, lets move on to something better.

I know vi is one of the defacto editors in unix. But is continuity
really the only reason to hang onto one of the zaniest text editors
ever conceived?  Why else would the unix world not come up with a
simple, elegant, and effective text editor... that is unixy?
