dcat made me switch away from vi mode. I hated him at first, now I'm sold!

I love vi's modes, it makes text edition really powerful and convenient, but for line edition, it is a waste of time. In vi, you spend most of the time in normal mode, while in term, you're in insert mode 90% of the time. This makes using normal mode inneficient and tiresome. It took me a few weeks to assimilate the readline basic moves (M-f, M-b, ...) but it is definitely worth it!
