Folks!
VI... Ouch!That is the lamest of the Text editors. I know that lots of
folks here will shout at me, saying that it's perfect!
I can even acknowledge... as we know that when someone gets used to any
command line interface that it kills any GUI but... c'mon!
Well, I`m a dinosaur, and even me could never get used to THAT! command
line interface!
I have used Ventura Publisher (was fine) and Page Maker (Very good), but
those were really pro tools, meant for people who worked on the Print Shops
and serious graphical publishing.
They were meant for people who would import the raw text (typed as plain
text) and then would apply, in a structured way, all the formatting and
styling templates.
When done this way, you would see their advantage, but when one would just
jump at it to do a one time work... It was even worse than Word.
Word, despite coming from the evil MS, does quite a decent job at doing, at
once, text editting AND Desktop Publishing.
I never tried in a more involved fashion, but I think that any Open License
Text editor of nowadays, like Star Office or Libre-Office, probably do a
good job as much as Word.

I'm not looking for money, but I did it with Word. Word!
BTW if anyone can suggest a better tool to "Desktop publish" (remember
when that was the killer app?) I'd love hear it.
vi? ;-)
