I still love it. I know lots of keyboard shortcuts, and you'd be amazed at how fast I am with it.

noglider as a cobol guy who worked hard to get to GUI, I could not get the preference of the unix guys for command line.....I even had to build a command line interface to a perfectly good out of the box GUI application. Of course part of it was VI and I did not get along well. I do understand the attraction, I remember doing command line CICS...... but let me see the unix types break down a COBOL dump over the phone at 2 am
I manage now, so the coding world is safer
