@toomanysecrets My fondest memory of #VMS is of EVE, the "extensible #VAX editor", a sort of easter egg which could be activated by invoking the editor command as "edit/tpu" instead of simply "edit." It came with its own scripting language, that included functions that would copy a rectangular grid of characters to different "coordinates." It was fun. I had some of the prettiest quoted text blocks on #Usenet with that editor.

I also really loved the online documentation. Much more plain-English and much more complete (encyclopedic, really) than UNIX man pages of the same era.
