Yes, I actually do use vim for a few things.  One of them is some 
display files in Synchronet use "Ctrl-A" codes for colors, and vim is 
the only CLI editor that I know of that can insert the proper secret 
code to make that work correctly (you use Ctrl-V and then Ctrl-A, and 
then the color letter).

FWIW, nano does a nice job of syntax highlighting these days, too.

Cool.  I know some folks prefer joe, but it was never one of my 
favorites.
