I generally use sed and awk from the command line to create any documents I need. Editors are for wimp.

Pah! Piker! Real "dudes" use "here documents" exclusively, created at the command line using cat!

I remember using a CRT terminal for the first time! You "young-uns" have it SO easy! When I started, we used hollerinth cards made out of rock! Have you ever tried to create a line of code on an 80 column card made out of rock using a tiny hammer and chisel?

Sheesh. You should have at least had a bullpen of pterodactyls to chip away at the stone cards. Dude, Fred and Barney had those.
