Yeah, I'm just starting to get the basics down, and it definately does speed stuff up. It's the only editor available on some of the machines I work with, so I was kinda forced into learning it.

The best way I can describe it is that it's a text editor without ANY user interface--not even menus. It works really well over telnet/SSH because of this and doesn't require any fancy graphics packages installed like X, etc.
