Because I am a hardcore-vim user.. I felt like It's just like notepad with possible options in regular vim. rgrds kandagatla I found Cream to be very un-user friendly to me..

If they are using Linux as their desktop, and we all are (with the exception of maurosanchezd), right? So I can see perhaps an occasional lapse in judgement in actually using the GUI, but seriously, when you need to edit a .conf file, don't you do as I do, open a bash terminal and run your favorite console editor? I'm mean the thought never occurs to me to open a text file with the GUI editor or even navigate for files and directories with konqueror or nautilus...I must be a throw-back...hell, I still use mutt!:-) But in all seriousness, and to add to sotirchenas' comment, the real, real, reason why all *nix sysadmins *must* learn and stay at least current with the basics of vi, is that at some point, you'll have to boot into a very minimal single user mode and you may only have vi. I've had that happen on several *nix systems over the years-and not every Unix has a nice full featured Knoppix CD to boot to... And maurosanchezd: I didn't see a smiley face, so do you actually use a Windows desktop on purpose? To manage what, Windows? If so, I feel sorry for you...

Or nano ? Does Microsoft Word and Notepad come with a Vim addon ;-)
