vim is a speciality editor, since you need to know it to use it. emacs is similar there. Both require you to learn it to do even simple things.

For a novice there should be an editor that is self-explanatory, and it appears that nano can work there.
+1 And just for the stats i use joe to edit config files on the console.
But then I don't care since I anyway do: pacman -Rs vim nano
And this works? I even see vi if i run a "crontab -e" which is the reason that i don't remove it until now. This is not bad because i use anacron and so i have only to fight one time for one line with vi.-) See you, Attila
