besides, pico is a blessing when sshing into a sshd over a modem.

Who wants to do such a thing?

i do, to transfer files across campus from my computer to wherever i happen to be working.
or, to transfer files between work and home, because it's a low-cost, free, and relatively speedy temp internet hard drive.

I use OpenOffice for a word processor and math editor, and gvim as a text editor. The only complaint I have about OpenOffice is that it doesn't have a format painter.

Abiword is good, but its a word processor! It doesnt have the feel of a text editor, and worst of all its.... I can hardly bring myself to say it, its so evil..... its... i-i-intuitive   
OpenOffice is good, but its so damn slow!!! Like I said, doing it in java is pure idiocy.
vi, nvi, elvis, vigor, vim, gvim etc is stupid
