I'd argue that EDTF is just as useful as vi.
That would be putting it very mildly.
I'd go so far as to say that I can't think of a single text editor in
existence, going all the way back to emacs, EDLIN on early DOS boxes,
XEDIT on CDC mainframes running NOS, or Context Editor ("EDIT") on IBM
mainframes running McGill University MUSIC, that I find *LESS* useful,
or *more cumbersome,* than vi, and will likely never understand why
anybody tolerates it. (And FYI, my editor of choice on Linux boxes is nano.)
Still, I'd much rather deal with SEU than EDTF, especially for RPG
source, even if I have to override syntax warnings on the newer
constructs it doesn't know about.
