To be correct: I use vi/vim for simple file editing and I use GNU Emacs for 
some things. 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. OK?
