Yeah, for all the benefits I espouse of XML-aware editors, I'm sure a long way from using one. I'd even consider using Emacs + PSGML mode, but my fingers know vi, and editing XML the way I do is still surprisingly efficient. I just wish I could get better auto indentation (I don't like the mode that came with VIM 6.0), and maybe element/attribute name tab-completion. If anyone has any suggestions (besides switching to Emacs :) I'd be very grateful. (As a matter of fact, I keep struggling with the idea of writing yet another vi clone that has the mode/programming capabilities of Emacs, and the efficiency of a vi-style command language. Oh, and the behavior of its command language would be *consistent*, which is a word Bill Joy apparently didn't know very well, when he wrote it.)
