Why bother? You're not going anywhere any faster, and the ancient automobile you're clanking along in takes just as much maintenance as the horse did.

For one, there are automobiles (vim) everywhere. I can't take the time to install a horse on every remote server I use.

Well, that makes sense. I can imagine that someone whose job involves ssh'ing into a lot of remote servers and doing configuration things to them might have very different needs than a typical software developer does.
