I've never understood why so many people worship vi.  If I need to edit
a file in a terminal, I use Mork's Editor.

On early unix systems, terminals were the only user interface.  At that

time, vi was a big improvement over ed. Many early unix users

learned vi, and now still find it available by default on most linux

systems as well as macOS.  Some modern editors are overly

helpful and will replace ASCII characters with look-alike glyphs

from Unicode fonts (opening and closing quotes, different types

of space characters).   Recently I'm finding many "bugs" are caused

by these look-alike characters in ASCII configuration files edited

by users.  In vi I trust.
