Not knowing that vim has so many extensions and coming = from vi and being used to used I never had the idea something else than = a very good editor. So it's pure ignorance that led to my statement, and = I have to commit that it's theoretically possible (in theory, because I = never have used such a pimped up vi or vim) that GNU Emacs and vi/vim = are dangerous because a super-user can make mistakes when using them = which can damage the system.
