It's an awful editor. I wish I could hire the person who came up with the user interface, only to have the satisfaction of having him/her fired five minutes later. With no severance package.

Viewed in the context of the time when it was originally created, it's a work
of genius.  There's a reason why it became the default text editor on Unix

I don't deny that.
Interlaced video, at the time it was invented, was a great idea. Now it's a huge harassment for anyone doing video processing. The steam engine was a huge step forward - a few hundred years ago. And look at it now.
