The first time I used VI I typed a few characters, then hit backspace to delete some characters. Backspace doesn’t delete characters. I closed VI and never opened it again.

As a long-time vim enjoyer, I like your gusto. Imagine if you could apply regexes to that carpenter’s axe.

(Also, what sort? Do you have one of those awesome Gransfors Bruks ones?)
