Sometimes.  It depends on what you're doing and what your
expectations are.  With sam -r or acme and u9fs, there
isn't too much call for cursor addressing even on Unix.
Really, in a rio window, even ed is pretty comfortable.
It sure beats using vi over a modem connection (as I am
sadly doing now).  Besides, vt has no cut and paste (well,
it has paste, I suppose), and that's painful.

That's not to say I never use vt -- it is the only way I
know of to play rogue on Plan 9.  Sometimes it's necessary
for real work, though.
