| The thing with VI is it seems there is a ton of functionality,

I've looked at vi and emacs, but not used either.  (Have NOT hardly looked
at GUI version of emacs.)  This was my impression also.

Well, I've been told same as I navigate using SEU and QCMD, even as bad as
they both stink to high-heaven.  Still gaining proficiency in both, but it
didn't take years to become *fairly* proficient.. took days.


| For the most part I thing it is just different, not necessarily dreadful.

Well, some differences (like ease of gaining a level of proficiency) DO make
a difference.


| For me, I will use it to do minimal editing, but for writing code
| I am a GUI
| guy:-)

It doesn't absolutely take a GUI to open multiple sources for edit.  Doesn't
take a GUI do windows, either, nor to colorize source (just takes a space
between tokens, which in actual fact is necessary for readibility anyway).
SEU actually COULD have had these features a decade ago.
