I still laugh at the word vi being the translation from Aztec of "how do I get out of this shit"

For context, I started with Linux in 1993, by making changes to the kernel. Vi was the editor of choice and I took it like I do with cultures of the countries I visit: I keep the comments to myself.

So I suffered in silence until I discovered joe (an editor based on Wordpress key bindings) and that was a great change.

I know 3 or 4 commands in vi, enough to make the changes five times a year when I have to use it somewhere
