Forte is definitely impressive, and I suspect will become even
more so. However, I use Emacs with JDE and CVS to do all of my
coding. Partly this is because I've been using Emacs for fifteen
years and I can do things with Emacs that I can't do with any other
text editor. I'm told it's theoretically possible to set up Forte to
use Emacs as the editor environment, so I may do it at some point, but
I suspect that will only address some of my needs.
