- I've never quite been able to give up vi. What a perverse pleasure I
- enjoyed when I began to learn emacs and found the "vip-mode". No new
- editor to learn! (Well, almost.)
- But I used the emacs functions and even write emacs-lisp now.
- Over the months, my key-bindings changed enough so that I couldn't really
- call it vi anymore. So, I went into my own copy of vip.el and changed
- the status line to read "Fly". So now I use the "fly" editor. The first
- editor that's completely, naively derived from two others!
