> I was actually talking about nvi, which is what FreeBSD comes with. It is about 1/3 of the size of vim.

So still three times bigger than nano, then.

> Also, vi IS easy to use, once you understand how it works, just not easy to learn (as opposed to emacs).

I am still convinced you're joking here. Claiming that Emacs is easy to learn is also hilarious.

> Computing hasn't evolved a lot: We still use (mostly) the same programming languages, algorithms, ideas and operating systems (if you exclude windows) as 25 years ago.

Leaving aside the fact that you just excluded something like 95% of the computing industry in a parenthetical remark there, I guess I should have made myself a little bit more clear: What I was getting at was that human-computer interaction has progressed just a little bit since the 1980s. For instance, these days you don't need to learn text editors. You just sit down in front of them and use them, even if you've never seen them before.
