Someone asked my about my oppinion in the ``Emacs vs.  Vim''  de-
bate ... and I told him that it used to be ``Emacs vs. vi''.

There are those people who type `vi' and expect Vim to  show  up.
(That's like writing ``#!/bin/sh'' and using bashisms.)

Others type `vim', get a ``command not found'', then  type  `vi',
and  suffer  hard  from missing all those Vim features they think
would be vi features.

I, on the other hand, have my problems with typing `vi' and  get-
ting  Vim.  This  parens  highlighting  feature, for instance, is
plainly annoying! The curser jumps  around  and  I  get  confused
where  I am. ``set noshowmatch'' is not the right thing, although
it seems to be. The solution is: ``NoMatchParen'' on the ex  line
or  ``let  g:loaded_matchparen  =  1'' in the vimrc.  Afterwards,
editing becomes so much quieter ... less disturbing. (If you want
to be shown the matching paren, just use `%'.)
