Yes! The first word processor I used was Wordstar (under CP/M). My first programming environment was Borland Turbo Pascal. Later, I used "QEdit", which was configurable to use the wordstar keys.

When I finally migrated from DOS to Unix, in the early 90s, I was delighted to discover JOE. It is the first program I install on any new Linux or *BSD box or VM.

JOE has syntax highlighting and several other nice features these days. I have therefore never felt the need to get proficient with vi or emacs.
