Well it really just goes to show you how desperate some of these sites
get for monthly articles... I also disagree with much of his top 10
list, but I do agree that "vi" is #1 on the list.

It's surprising to an old Unix hound like myself that so much of the
newer Linux converts don't know vi. I guess that's really a good thing.
Most distros are now easy to manage using GUIs; folks can strive and
survive without the command-line if they must.
