Could someone imagine IBM AIX without terminal and without vi editor?
Well, I'd kind of like to imagine AIX without vi. I rather prefer GEDIT
myself. Or maybe a good, mouse-enabled version of EMACS. Or M$ Notepad,
or Apple TextEdit, or the IDE supplied with M$ QuickBASIC. Hell, I even
preferred the Context Editor supplied with the McGill University MUSIC
operating system on IBM 370s and compatibles (which only has a full
screen mode if you're on a 3270) to be a step up from vi.
Well, I think that OS400 without green screen and SEU is just ...
stupid.
Now THAT, I'll second. SEU, even without syntax checking, is light years
ahead of vi, just as 5250 (especially in its mouse-enabled 3487
iteration) is light years ahead of a VT100 emulation.

likely leave me with AIX and pains.)
