Had a look at it.

vi does the trick for me for edits in /etc so will stick with it.

Wouldn't say I was a black belt in it but even after 10 years not using the thing at least my fingers remember it. Couldn't for the life me explain how to use the thing.

Must admit though I am getting used very quickly with using all the old tools that unix can give.

Need photos off a phone and no cable or IR no problem 1 min FTP server online, N96 with ftp client, local wireless network and 5 mins later photo's transferred.

Want to rename heaps of files write a script done in 4 mins.

All this interactive crap just dulls your mind with bloody clicking at buttons which takes 20-30 times as long as a couple of commands and the use of | and grep.
