Hello,

I'll have to look at that.  

I have a kind of collection of editors -- the way I collect books, I
guess.  TextPad, vbsEdit, UltraEdit, SciTE, XmlCopyEditor, EditPlus,
emacs.  I never do anything with vi except munge conf files.

For actual "projects" I use VS and NetBeans.  When I get on a "back to
basics" kick, I re-enter emacs.  It used to be a joke about emacs not
being an editor but an operating system.  There is nothing on the
linux side that even comes close, IMO.  I don't like GUI-based stuff,
though, so right off, any editor built on the assumption that I'm a
mouse-oriented user is right out.

Thanks.
