I agree. There really is no excuse for not learning Vi or Emacs or similar. 
One day (soon) you will be faced with having to fix a remote site over a 
telnet (Ahhh!) or SSH (:-)) connection when you haven't got the time to 
download the code (including dynamic data like databases) and fix it locally.

Vi has saved my skin more times than I care to discuss.

XHTML is easy. It's a simple habit to keep and the extraordinary beauty of 
XHTML is that the same tags work as HTML anyway (;-)) - it's just about 
FORCING the coder to do what HTML should always have required, good tag 
nesting.

This is a para<p> 
is simply NOT acceptable. Use:
<p>This is a para</p>

Also, another common one:
<ul><li>content of first list<ul><li>content of second list</ul></ul>
BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD. 
Use:
<ul><li>content of first list</li>
<li>
<ul><li>content of the second list</li></ul>
</li>
</ul>

Easy.
