While there's a fair amount of truth to the article, I found it read
more like "nine-reasons-why-im-cool."  Come on - vim is the one true
vi?  Yes, you have to know vi, but that next conclusion does not
follow.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE vim.  But vim only fails to look
bloated because it's being compared to emacs.  Vim is a 20MB package
these days!  Not exactly ideal for small systems - and not generally a
default, either.  I could continue quibbling, but I'll leave it at
that.
