I'd love to hear a convincing explanation from someone why anyone
would use such tools in preference to TextWrangler, BBEdit or Affrus.
I can imagine they'd make it a chore to write code in us-ascii and
either a nightmare or an impossibility to deal with non-ascii, but
maybe that's because I'm just an unreformed Mac user :-)
Personally, because I learned Emacs in 1986, so the control keys are
hard-coded in my brain :-)
