Oh, and of coarse look at the users it was being > friendly to. Hey, I resemble that remark. :) The editor I use on the color computer has had several names over the years, vi being the first one. Then somebody made a window device called vi, and I had to rename it vim. Vim it isn't, but it still works fine. And I still use vim on these linux boxes about half the time, but gedit is gradually taking over for writing gcode to run a milling machine or lathe.
