I never liked that newfangled vim. It's far too... colorful. I usually swap it out for nvi, which is much more vi-like.
Funny, but I find vim to be the vi that's closest to visual!

Once MP3 players came along, the minidisc went the way of the cassette Walkman.
Smartphones are the new Walkman. None of my friends own mp3 players anymore.
I, for one, would rather game on my phone
My phone is a flip phone. An Android phone would involve a much higher recurring fee. For example, Virgin Mobile USA won't activate an Android phone on a $80 per year dumbphone plan; it requires a $420 per year smartphone plan. I imagine a lot of children and teens are in the same situation: parents are willing to pay for a low-end plan to call home in an urgency but not more than that.
This is not true everywhere. In Southeast Asia, where I live, there's practically no difference in usage fees between Android phones and ordinary phones if you browse and download only in wifi mode. Not everybody knows this when they first buy the phone but they find out as soon as they run out of their prepaid credits.

Maybe.. Intel has done just as much damage to the hobbyist computer culture as Microsoft or Apple has maybe even more.
Why? Intel has been very supportive of the most popular hobbyist OS, Linux!
