	Or if one is of the old school, the ever popular jstar to invoke
the wordstar keystrokes in jed.

Oh, yes :-)
I use elvis for POV-Ray scene editing. It is a more compact vi clone
than vim, but it has all the features I need: user-defined syntax
hilighting, multiple buffers, X window support, colors...

Oh, I use both. I mean elvis and vim, of course. :-)

I found that syntax hilighting in vim much slower than in elvis. Also,
elvis's html display mode is very nice :)

See elvis in action on my linux desktop (in an Eterm):

Hmm, I think elvis's html display is good for displaying
its documentation, but I'll go to lynx or links for real
text-mode surfing.

As for syntax highlighting, I mostly use vim, I didn't
look at how elvis does it. vim (can) use lots of regexp
in its syntax highlighting, and of course this has a price.

To sum up: elvis for quick editing (a config file, some
html patching) and vim for more "heavy" work (I don't
mean by far that elvis can't do it -- just that I don't
mind launching a "big" executable when I intend to work
for a little while, hence vim, and that I don't like to wait for
an executable to launch when I want to edit a ridiculously
small file, hence elvis).

Fraud!  There's no Outlook(tm) icon on your desktop.

I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.

alias vi='vim'

I was forced to use emacs back when Lucid emacs w/Energize
(on SunOS) looked a lot like VC++.  Perhaps if i could find
a non-crippling keyboard for my PeeCee i could try emacs
again, but i can't stand having my pinkies curled under my
hand to lean on the control key.

(I actually used Caps Lock once.  Thank g*d it was on the home
row or i might not have found it.)

Do a search on a search engine for the "Happy Hacking Keyboard".

	Reminds me of the old song, Vi me a River.

How about the editor in the Midnight Commander? It works very much like
good old Wordstar. I used in all the time, even to edit rc files.
