I'm still trying to understand how to use it three years later.  It's
the most useless editor I've ever come across.  At no time is there
hint of an intuitive approach in it's design.  Nearly as bad as
Emacs.  If a Mac designer had been let lose on vi and Emacs it would
have been much better.  There are things that are wrong with Linux and
this is one of them.
 
This is contrast with Gedit and Kedit which are very easy to use.
