I don't know... I keep finding myself leaning more and more towards line editors rather than heads-up editors. I think there's a happy (at least for me) medium in there somewhere, a slightly more heads up ed, that I keep occasionally working on. Using stdin and stdout rather than a tlib also has the benefit of making it much more automatable. That may be a dev/ops difference, though: as an operator my needs for an editor are a lot different from code guys' needs. (That's part of why I think the idea of having a single "best" editor is kind of silly.) Weldon
