Thats why Mr Stallman wrote emacs! :-)

I once used Teco for a month, just for a dare.
The best thing about it was taking a test file and typing your name into 
it, and seeing if you could guess what the final result would be...

(For the uninitiated Teco was driven by characters on the keyboard, but 
it didn't bother to wait till you hit enter it would just do stuff as 
soon as it had enough data to operate on. A bit like vi in edit mode but 
without the :   And every key seemed to do something!)
