It's hard to go from one editor to the other just because there is
already a large investment in, and comfort with, the one that is
already known. Obviously. But I think what really keeps me from
getting emacs is the impatience at being reduced to the
functionality of Notepad all over again, The motivation to
continue is already gone because that hurdle has already been
faced.
Given a choice between Notepad and emacs, I'd go to emacs. :)
I agree (though I've never even looked at emacs). But what I think Wade
meant was that the familiarity he has with emacs would allow him to do
little more than he could do in notepad. In essence, emacs (for someone
unfamiliar with it) would be no more powerful than Notepad. Of course,
emacs would be the better choice in the long run because of its
potential. Even learning just a few of its functions would leave
Notepad in the dust.
What I know about vi(m) is a spit in the ocean. But it's adequate for
my needs. I keep learning more, as I need it.
