there are alot of good IDEs that allow you to jump to a specified line
how many of them allow you to jump to a specified line with only 2+log10(line number-1) keystrokes?
and how many of them let you use regular expressions to move to a certain point in the file?
Vi use is all DDR.
no, emacs is all ddr.
You know what wouldn't be? A mouse. And a scrollbar.
i can probably start vi, finish whatever edit i started vi to do, save the file, and exit in the amount of time it takes you to move your hand from your keyboard to your mouse.
a mouse is ok for drawing pictures but not as good as a tablet, and pretty much useless for anything else.
