Subject: Re: [PLUG] Poll! editors (and possibly me burning at the stake)
wow, i really love all the responses! it's really helpful.
James- i've noticed a similar trend; my coding/developer friends tend to use
emacs whilst the sysadmin buddies i have tend to use vi.
Art- i totally forgot about the lesser ones, like Jed! as an added bonus, jed
has an "emacs emulation mode" and is a lot more lightweight than
emacs! i just found that interesting.
Dan- ditto what chuckk said! i'd love to see what you like and dislike about
both; this'd be invaluable as you use both regularly. do you have a preferred
editor for certain contexts?
Josh- excellent tip, the .emacs thing looks pretty intriguing! emacs, while
huge compared to vim, is incredibly flexible; almost as if it's a separate
system unto itself!
Chuckk- thanks so much! that was the exact kind of summation i'm looking for!
let's keep this going, i'm curious as to what the rest of you use!

Bill Gates is to hacking as Sid Vicious was to the Sex Pistols: no talent,
everyone hates him, and he's just in it for the fame and money.
