[PLUG] I wish, I knew this when I started with Vim

[Sudhanwa Jogalekar]

After many years of usage, I stopped using CLI quite some time back. But
still use vi kind of editors a few times.  This reminds me of the best
editor I ever used -- BRIEF . Just checked that Wikipedia page and found
that few things in vim come from brief !! Just check the features in it
that are even today very useful and innovative!! And those were available
in the eighties on a dos environment!!

Check out the wiki page here:
