I don't se it as "the curse of vi(m)", more like "the charm of vi(m)" ;) :wq I usually hit esc:wq when entering text into these text boxes (especially at blogger.com etc.) Usually I realize what is happening before I post.

I don’t se it as “the curse of vi(m)”, more like “the charm of vi(m)” ;)

Seems like it only works with http://www.vim.org/ For some reason you need the www in there. Must be the way they have their server configured. FYI: your link to vim.org is broken.

After leaving UNIX for the world of windows development, I thought 'bare' vi was an oboslete software fossil. Last year, however, I discovered <a href="http://www.gvim.org" rel="nofollow">vi-improved</a>, which, when coupled with ctags, can do things that IDE's 10 times the size cannot. I particularly like being able to save and restore arbitary 'sessions': I find them much more flexible than the IDE notion of 'project' files..and a lot faster, too. I learnt vi in 1987.
