Good point, not that I know any bad writers apart from myself that will waste time in this way, when there's nothing else on the desk to play with. Vim is like a paperclip. Simple, but if used correctly - opening locks, ejecting recalcitrant CDs, emergency repair on apollo 13 etc etc.- incredably powerful.

Neal Stephenson isn't such a bad writer (well, I think he's terrible, but people do buy his books, so..) and he uses BeOS!

Actually this article is way better than the book, and it's free!
