That's why you don't know how to use one of the best editors that has
ever existed. (And the only one to be found on almost every Linux/Unix
computer in existence, for a very good reason.)

It isn't for lazy and undisciplined konsumers, it is for people who do
a lot of writing and need a professional tool.

Sure, you can learn the basics in 20 minutes, but it takes a little
study to really learn how to use it.

If you don't need it, you don't need it.
