Hehe - I don't feel like a wizard. But during the years I have
become familiar with a few magic wands, like for example Emacs.

You can teach Emacs a lot of tricks with keyboard macros and
scripts. And you can even rearrange your keyboard to work the
way you like, e.g. by binding scripts to keys.

And then you can program Emacs in lisp. But have not looked
into that (yet).

So I recommend joining the Church of Emacs!

I really don't like vi and vim.
- They are the work of The Evil One ;-)

On several occasions I've found sed and awk/gawk useful.
