The immortality of the “vi” editor

Here I am, programming using "vi" and, as usual, it's annoying me. Why am I using it? It's just occurred to me, I remember from my childhood, my father would come home from work and complain about "vi". I wonder if my children will use "vi"?

P.S. I recently created a nerdy privacy-respecting tool called When Will I Run Out Of Money? It's available for free if you want to check it out.
