Maybe I said it wrong (I was tired).  Emacs and emacs like editors
are upwardly compatible with the type of terminal everyone will have
in 5-8 years.  Vi is not.  ATT knew this (I know because I was there
when the decision was made) when they decided to support this editor.

Vi is just impossible with the next generation of intelligent terminal.
