Lines: 11 Since I graduaged college, I've worked on UNIX at a large Defense Contractor using UNIX for software quality assurance, a Government Research Laboratory doing computer science research, and now working in management of a University wide computer center for the State University. In each environment, the editor of preference was EMACS. Demonstrating a proficiency in vi shows little to me as the the candidate's qualifications and lends me to believe that the applicant is a candy-assed 3B2 luser. Even died-in-the-wool Doug Gwyn prefers using a real editor to "vi." -Ron
