The lost tape of UNIX V4 was found, I gave it a spin and was amazed how fast you feel familiar using it.

    Every time I do not have to use vi as editor I’m glad there’s CUA editors like micro which I don’t need my three year computer science degree for.

      which I don’t need my three year computer science degree for.

      vi really isn’t complex.

      CUA editors

      CUA editors work as long as there is grid display and ANSI input. They do not work in a line feed or console-line environment like telnet, console, etc., hence the need for hjkl movement.

      Also CUA is an IBM initiative, it wasn’t followed everywhere.
