emacs is a waste IMHO (prepare for the flamewar), vim (or vi) is more
than sufficient.
But in vi, you can type :h to get help, or "man vi".
You did manage to work out :q (which presumably would prompt you that you
hadn't saved the changed file) - rebooting seems a bit extreme as a
workaround.
Then of course, there were tons of books on SVRX (and earlier). ;-)

I wonder that as well. Been meaning to file a bug about it, but I like
to include as much info as I can so it can actually be fixed, and haven't
had time to do the research necessary for a useful bug report.

Try "n" to go to the next unread message (IIRC, that's the shortcut in
Thunderbird).

That would be too confusing - it is off-topic, after all, so why should
the topic of the post match the subject line? ;-)

I use gvim, a bash shell, and gcc for all my development needs. And I'm

Not confusing - it's done all the time on mailing lists.

Well, I use Eclipse for Java. But that's the only exception. I use
vim+bash+gcc (MinGW) for C(++). And vim too for PHP, JS, whatever.
