It’s sad that in 2020 people are still using 45 year old command line editors, thinking they are necessary.

I work on embedded systems, and vi is the only option.

If all you have is a terminal connection to a system, a gui editor isn't going to do you much good. Personally, I prefer to use vi, but any console editor that you know works as far as I'm concerned. Also, if a 45 year old program works, why not use it? Newer /= better in all cases.

What's sad is people who think that an editor good enough to last for 45 years isn't good enough to use.
