Commander:
i know people that hate vi or vim with all their power.  i, personally, dont mind it.  it's fast and mostly simple (although i hate the fact that the backspace doesnt work and i still haven't figured out how to delete unwanted newlines).  it good for quick edits since it;s faster to type 'vi' then nano, pico or emacs!  :D

DukePuke:
You can rename pico in yout bin direktory to one stupid letter : "p", and you will race around all vi's with speed

To delete a line, position the cursor over the line you want to remove. Type the command "dd" and it'll cut the entire line.

*side note* you can undo your cut with the "u" command, or you can paste the line somewhere else using the "p" command.

You're making the mistake of confusing user friendliness with usability. Vi isn't "simple" to use and it's certainly not user friendly, but it's highly usable and very powerful, which is why people use it. You always seem to assume that everything should be user-friendly. Not everyone who uses a computer is a novice.
