Yes, actually. PINE was the first Unix app I ever learned to
use with any regularity. I got very used to pico, and got the
keybindings ingrained into my fingers. Of course, I later learned
that those were a subset of EMACS. So I used GNU EMACS for a while,
except for in PINE, where I used PICO. I had some pretty good
keybinding orthogonality going for me.
And then my pinky began to ache, and I felt soreness in the
tendons of my ctrl-key arm.
So I switched to vi, and had the best christmas ever. The
end.
