Not really. Vi people are equally crazy about vi. All the gajillion variants of it, that is. (vim is usable. nvi and elvis drive me nuts.) ;) Still, I get along fine with staunch vi people who have hjkl navigation hardwired into their brains... In comparison, relatively few people are crazy about pico or nano. Probably because that's not really a programmer's editor... (You'll be surprised at how many people don't know that the -w switch can turn off that pesky auto-wrapping.) The few people I know who use pico all the time seem almost apologetic. ;) jed and joe seem to be quite popular, though. Not tempted to switch. Planner is too much fun. =) -- Sacha Chua <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - open source geekette http://sacha.free.net.ph/ - PGP Key ID: 0xE7FDF77C interests: emacs, gnu/linux, personal information management, CS ed sachac on irc.freenode.net#emacs .
