That’s the great thing about being proficient with vi. :) Any machine you can sit down at, with any flavour of vi on it, you’re immediately productive on. Not having your perfectly tweaked config is annoying, maybe even a little painful, but it never actually sets you back. 90% of the customisation you depend on usually consists of a half-dozen configuration variables you can easily memorise anyway. (:set ai number ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 et!)

The only criterion of yours it falls short on is not making you think about it – that is, it falls short for the first week or so. I never regretted the time I invested in getting over the initial hump, though.

Makeshifts last the longest.
