Hey,
vi being old and daunting at first is cool and much faster than any other editor. But who wants to go to console these days when big programming tools are available.
Searching for a word is one of the most frequent things i do. Specially to track the use of variables. Vi makes it easier than any other editor.
Rather than a big daunting window to FIND one word it is more friendly to pop a box in the bottom like in firefox and just give in a command to do a flexible search. And not only search but many many functions if the features from vi are brought into the box. For hard core programmers it will be a boon. Plugin may be a good option for this one.
Thank You
