Since it started as a fork of MC's open source editor, my custom text

not come across anyone (except Scott Raney <g>) who's used emacs in
the last decade.
How often do you use emacs?
Do others here use it?
How essential would you consider the option of supporting emacs key
bindings in a 21st century text editor?
I use emacs every day. It's my editor of choice for editing html, text
and (for now at least) .irev files.
When (if) tRev gets support for editing script files like irev (and
assuming it has the kind of revtalk features I'd expect) then I will
most likely switch to it for 95% of editing .irev files, and only use
emacs occasionally. I'll still use it for text, html, etc.
"essential" ? No.
"very nice" ? Yes.
I haven't tried your custom editor, or indeed MC, but I assume it's only
basic emacs key bindings that are supported. If you have support for "by
example" macro definition, programmable macros, etc. then I am *truly*
impressed :-) But even basic key bindings / features is pretty
helpful - that lets me think about what text I want, and my fingers make
it happen without the brain being involved.
