Vim is an incredibly complex application with an interface that allows
all kinds of things. Even if you go with just the normal, basic
editing stuff, there are two modes where keys mean totally different
things (plus the : mode).
However, it's very easy for me to do nearly anything to a file in vim.
I have to know both what I want done, and how to do it, but after
knowing, it's very little effort.
Compare this to pico. It has a very simple interface, but it's not
terribly easy to do anything more complex than enter text, delete text,
cut and paste.
