Vim is also great in a XTerm. I use it right now to type this
followup. GVim is great if you don't want to use a terminal version,
or if you want to free up your terminal to do other work. I use it all
the time, also to develop X applications.

Vim is the classic, but there are other good terminal editors with more
familiar control interfaces.

Heh? Familiar? Now you're missing the point. An editor is good because
it is good, not because it is like another editor you happen to know.

If you really want vim running and *nothing* else, type "linux
init=/bin/vim" at the LILO prompt.

Ooooh... I'm _so_ going to try that out! Of course I also have to make
sure the kernel doesn't mount the root partition read-only by default,
because running 'mount' to remount it r/w doesn't count as *nothing*
else

Shouldn't it actually be called Viim anyway? I'm forcing myself to use
emacs for everything at the moment (and quite liking it). I looked at
Vim and shall be giving that a go too. (and yes I know about the holy
wars that go on in other newsgroups over these two so I'm not trying to
start anything here).

Nah, that doesn't sound right.

It's pretty different. Make sure you run 'vimtutor' first!
