Text editing, however, is done entirely using my preferred Vi clone - gVim.
I used "Portable Wordstar" on my old Epson Geneva portable, but I never left anything in Wordstar format.

I love vi -- but I learned on ed, and I have some ed commands hard-coded into my fingers which makes vi even faster. I still use it for quick notes and outlines.
