========================================
What a truly civil list we have here! A *discussion* of the relative merits
of these two hallowed editors (some would say emacs is more a desktop
environment than mere editor ;o) ), without a bitter flaming contest.
`course, it is rather early...... <|8^)
My US$0.02: see if nedit suits your needs if you find the challenge of one of
the big two too daunting.
Best,
Mike
