Revision history [back]

Vi is just another text editor, like many graphical text editors. And i happen to prefer this cli editor above any other graphical one. Yet Sailfish chooses to add it to developer mode and removes it when you go out of developor mode. That is wrong, because having an editor or not has nothing to do with security. Security is a case for the individual files to defend themselves. I can edit nemo files with any graphical editor, but i am not allowed to use vi for that?!!

Such concept of security is of the mindset of a webscribbler who thinks that if he makes an url complex enough, no one is going to guess it. Utter nonsense of course. So i urge the Sailfish developers to quit removing vi as a "security" measure.
