This really made me chuckle. :) I hate vi, emacs, and visual studio with a passion.
I have to add that there is more to learn about Notepad than most people realize, though. Most people haven't made friends with the cut + paste commands that work through the Ins and Del keys. You can select and move text at a very rapid speed with those because they're right next to Home and End, and you're using Shift and Ctrl with the other hand. I once impressed a friend of mine who used vim regularly with how fast and error-free I could edit in Notepad.
See, the problem is that after using vi's arcane commands regularly for some years, I'm used to doing something like "3dd" to whack 3 lines and then "P" to paste them in further down. Much quicker than doing the same thing in notepad, which feels like a bike with training wheels that I can't remove.
Plus I can do the exact same thing in vi over ssh.
I have that very issue with Word, especially when I'm working through some process in vi (and other tools), while documenting it for a customer in word. Drives me batty!
Which, I'm guessing, would be the graph y=1/x. It starts at a number, which theoretically is very close to infinity, but is undefined and therefore useless as far as knowledge is concerned.
VI. OMG you mentioned the evil that is....NEVER mentioned "that" editor ever again. I used it in my intro to Unix class. I just about walked out of the class. Thing makes you want to gnaw your arm off and beat the computer with it.
