From the "vi" post... Several things are wrong.
1) Nobody uses "vi" anymore.. its "vim" or "vi improved". If you type vi on almost any modern distro its often just a symlink to vim. Its not really a variant anymore.
2) "However, its initial learning curve is somewhat steep, and there is no real GUI.".... Wrong. There is a GUI called "gvim".
3) Length: I think 4 sentences is FAR too short for an editor that has been around as long, and still used more widely than emacs (which was the largest section of the article). A lot of upsides to Vim are not even mentioned.
