		I suppose it depends on how you define
"usability". Windows notepad does not work from any terminal, any
keyboard over any link - even 45 baud. vi does all of that. I can
manage machines across cheesy dialups, frame relay, anything with
vi.

	There are unix/linux versions of Windows Notepad. They
may be wonderful when you are sitting on the console, or using X
on a LAN. But they suck when it comes to remote admin, which is
still the strength of Linux.

	Yes, I ssh into my T21 Thinkpad. It has more than once
been my mail and web server while the big box is being moved.
