I hate VI not defaulting to wasd for movement like every other single piece of software I used growing up... (e.g. Quake, Marathon...) Ha ha ha. (Or should my games have used hjkl)?

As I recall, both Quake and Marathon defaulted to arrow keys for movement. Half-Life was the first time I encountered WASD out-of-the-box.

I still play a game that does...
