On the other hand, even though I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Linux fan, I remember that EDLIN and DEBUG in DOS were scriptable and, working for IBM North Harbour, sending a text file for DEBUG<MYFILE seemed like the best way to transmit a binary file back in the 1990s :-)

vi is still the best code editor ever.

Just like in photography the best camera is the one you have with you at the time.

Vi is always there for you.

Fight me, all you younglings !!!
