Thanks for the concrete demonstration of what makes integrating an editor such a PITA.

If this is really true the next question to ask is: Just how badly designed is our software that we can't even plug in a standard text editor?

Emacs and vi are *horrible* designs.  What's your point?

This horrible design is part of what caused the great emacs/xemacs schism originally.

Emacs is in desperate need of a refactor. However, someone would have to sit down and write unit tests for different modules before they could do that. And nobody in the open source world is going to do that.

Maybe vim doesn't have the same problems. I'll let someone who has actually used and looked at vim code comment.
