I remember being pretty good at those editors, long ago and far away. Then I got sucked into the world of EDLIN, NotePad, MSWrite, MSWord, GEdit, etc. So, inevitably, my brain turned to mush and I forgot all there was about those powerful/flexible terminal-based commands and utilities.
I would find the step backwards from Emacs, Vi, the shell, etc., very painful and my frustration levels would go straight up. It would be like going back to preschool after having grown up.
