Inertia is one heck of a drug.

First used "vi" in 1985, using a time sharing connection via a vt100 terminal to a VAX cluster running BSD 4.3 (I think). Over the next several years, using Unix variants on a Sun II workstation, I continued to use "vi" as my primary Unix editor. That continued as I later used vi on a Unicos system on a Cray X/MP time sharing system. I'm still using the modern variant "vim" on my POP-OS Linux laptop right now. Great little history lesson!
