Why do people keep trying to make poor writers better by trying to get them to use Vim or Emacs, and learn how to waste !#time with $$^formating commands?

It doesn't matter what you write with, as long as you get up early and write every day. The most important tools for a writer are an alarm, a coffee-pot and a room soundproofed against wives, children and pets. If you spend all day fiddling with formats in OpenOffice, then you will a way to waste even more time learning how to do it with Vim.
