Allright, try this for a change: make vi behave like Emacs, my
favorite editor. We already know that Emacs can behave like vi pretty
easily. Show that it goes the other way: that should be a good test of
flexibility.
The persons whom I know use vi look terribly clumsy when using it.
All those keystrokes! All that careful thought about "How am I going
to do this?" And they've used it for more than six years!! And the
work that they do to get effects that are easy to do in Emacs!!!
Show me that vi "is infinitely flexible compared to" Emacs.

rest of the other person's article in yours?
