Windows network administrators have long used Edit, Notepad, or Wordpad to edit large text and script files. Most UNIX systems have an editor of some sort; the actual utility varies depending on the flavor of UNIX you’re running. Some, like Sun Microsystems, even have full-blown competitors to Microsoft Word. But, all UNIX machines have vi - the visual editor. Once you know your way around vi, you can edit files on any flavor of UNIX, including Linux.
Here is the article https://my.opera.com/zengbo/blog/using-vi
 

Re: Using vi

-vi- is the best editor that you can get because you have the control in a -vi- you can execute commands, programming and split files at the same time, so if you are using linux or a Unix systema is kind of sacrilege not use vi.
 

Re: Using vi

Emacs is also a very flexible and useful editor. Prof. Stallman has used it. You can work more creatively with Emacs than with Vi especially in programming work.
 

Using vi

Vim is an improved version and theres gvim available (even for windows for those who want a feel for the vi editor...)
 

Re: Using vi
