The first time I used VI I typed a few characters, then hit backspace to delete some characters. Backspace doesn't delete characters. I closed VI and never opened it again.

Yeah yeah, brag about being able to close VI the first time of use...

Carpenter's axe to the utility line outside my house

As a long-time vim enjoyer, I like your gusto. Imagine if you could apply regexes to that carpenter's axe.

(Also, what sort? Do you have one of those awesome Gransfors Bruks ones?)

You need to type i first to enter insert mode.

A million better alternatives exist. I was curious about them.
