Admittedly, I was being a bit over the top.  I can still cope with vi,
and I could never get the hang of emacs in the first place.  One of
the first things I do on every machine I work on, is install sam (even
did that on a course on Java programming I took ages ago, the guy
teaching the course was slightly puzzled when he saw me not using the
IDE).

I would recommend trying out the new P9 port to Unix instead of wily.
The colour scheme alone is gorgeous.  Although, I can now no longer
easily distinguish my drawterm to my home machine from my work
desktop.
