I love all of this, but at least let your students use vi, it was around back then (or close). plus they don’t have to give it up when they go back in the real world, it’s an evergreen skill!

To be fair, it's mostly an evergreen skill because people don't know how to exit.
I know you're joking but if one can't figure out how to quit vi they should find other employment opportunities in other fields of work.
And I bet emacs has a mode for that too.
I don't have a problem, I can quit anytime I want!
Friends don't let friends use vi - they know that once you start, you'll never quit!
if you learned it in class, I hope you learn how to exit!
