Then why on earth would you insist vi is "SOP"?

Sorry, I was answering immaturity with immaturity.  I find the implication
that I _should_ be using vi, insulting.  There's nothing SOP about it on a
KDE desktop.  You're welcome to use it, but don't insist I or anyone else
_should_ know it.  And don't even think about suggesting I'm one of
the "younger generation".  I was computing _before_ there was Unix. :-)
