Well, which one are you actually using? I don't know about old-school vi 
or nvi or any of the other vi clones, but vim has a perfectly good 
scheme mode which will help you get the indenting right.

Well, if you get to know and love emacs, there's a strong temptation to 
spend all your time hacking emacs instead of doing actual work. I 
couldn't resist ... that's why I switched to vim after using emacs for 
five years.
