I have recently become reaquainted with unix after a 10-year absence. I
note that ed has been "updated" by vi. I am appalled.
This would have been a graet advance in 1978 but not in 1991.

After some thought, I propose a minor (?) change which could GREATLY improve
vi: insert mode should allow the user to position anywhere in the document
by using cursor keys; editing by del key would be possible; any characters
would be inserted at the current location.

Vi hackers: how feasible is this??
