Well, mostly I have strict rules about "your fixes must give MINIMAL
changes". So I'm not allowed changing any line (spacing, etc.) if I
the final code doesn't change. According to this rule, through the
years the code became a big mess.
So, I use gvim because I can control quite fine the spacing changes
with Undo/Redo, etc.
I don't think 'acme' would be better than gvim for me in this
situation, but I'm not an "accostumed" user of acme.
perhaps i don't get it, but there's nothing i've seen in other editors that
helped
with bad code. bad code is just as bad in colour -- and harder on the eyes.
I agree.
