You have to _wait_ for the find panel to show when you hit Ctrl-F??? I 
use kate on Linux and I don't have to wait for anything. It's very 
snappy.

I concur. Emacs is too smart for its own good!

Except using ''' for doc strings! Emacs proponents often push a subset 
of Python, in order that it work better with their editor. That's very 
odd, from a language perspective.

In any case, I'm open to the ''' doc strings being changed to """ 
although I certainly wouldn't call it a "fix".  ;-)



There is a Webware wiki page for this topic, btw:
http://webware.colorstudy.net/twiki/bin/view/Webware/TextEditors

SciTE seems to be missing, but since my 2 favorites are there 
(UltraEdit and kate), I'll leave it to someone else to add it.
