 But with Interleaf I don't even have a spell program. |
| I think the hard thing about all these tools is that it takes a fair amount of effort to become proficient. |
| I think it killed the performance on a lot of the systems in the Labs for years because everyone had their own copy of it, but it wasn't being shared, and so they wasted huge amounts of memory back when memory was expensive. |
| I think one of the interesting things is that vi is really a mode-based editor. |
| I was surprised about vi going in, though, I didn't know it was in System V. |
| Bitmap display is media compatible with dot matrix or laser printers. |
| The reason I use ed is that I don't want to lose what's on the screen. |
| Interleaf is very nice. I expect there to be a lot of competition for programs like that. |
| Interleaf is based on the formatting process. |
| Well, limbo is not a good place to be. |
| I just don't like to lose what's in the window. |
| Systems are going to get a lot more sophisticated. |
| I think the wonderful thing about vi is that it has such a good market share because we gave it away. |
| Document preparation systems will also require large screen displays. |
| It is formatted, and I'm tired of using vi. I get really bored. |
| I started to write a new editor not too long ago and had it about half done after two days. |
| But no, I don't generally have trouble with spelling mistakes. |
| That lack of programmability is probably what ultimately will doom vi. It can't extend its domain. |
| The point is that you want to have a system that is responsive. |
| I had almost rewritten all of the display code for windows, and that was when I gave up. |
