    We had that discussion before. It is almost line a chicken and egg discussion.

    This is Balkenbrij : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkenbrij   
      
    I have used  Vi, ever since I got a copy of the  KMS-Toolkit for Dos.   
    But I only use a small subset of its possibilities. The same goes for Bash.   
      
    Altough in the times of the KMS-toolkit itr was probably the Korn-shell.
