Re: [LAU] An appeal to famous artists?

It seems some people stumble upon it by accident, more or less. Just met one on saturday. It went something like this: "what do you study?" "computing science" "Linux user?" "Yep" *imagine funky face* "Tried to use vi or something once for some fluid dynamics thing, we used [bla] instead". Just a single case and no idea how exactly he stumbled upon it, but it was obvious that he a) associated Linux with vi(m) and b) was put off fast by vi(m). I doubt a nicer introduction could have helped in this case though, simply because vi(m) is a really complex beast and you either invest time to learn what you need to learn about it or you can't use it. There's no way around investing time with this thing.
