RE: Dig it - killer freeware editor

I have worked at about 5 different Unix installations over the years. They all had a GUI editor, but each editor was different. Some installations you have to use a different editor on different systems. But they all have vi. And vi is always the same. When I started working on Unix, I spend a day or two learning vi, and this investment has returned itself many times over. Dennis Williams

Ya, you are right, some unix having no GUI for the first installation like FreeBSD 4.
vi is the only one availabe there for you to configure your xwindows or KDE.

vim! Indeed my favorite editor - gvim if I feel a need for a GUI look and feel.

If you are a Unix dba, know vi - it is almost guaranteed to be available on every system you touch. Or so a wise man once told me.

And, then once it gets in your blood, you forget why you needed another editor.
