emacs doesn't suck...it BLOWS

choasforages:
sorry, emacs is awsome, it autoindents, adn does other great things. vim is ok, but i just prefer emacs, besides emacs is gnu.

choasforages:
and the thing about linux/gnu system being three operating systems, that was a joke

voidmain:
O'Reilly's reasons for switching from emacs to vi are pretty much the same reasons I prefer vi, and vim provides even more features above vi that I really like.  I can go to any UNIX system and be extremely proficient in editing files without having to install any other software.  See Tim O'Reilly's reasons for switching from emacs to vi here:

dbl221:
I think one of the best features of VIM over and
above VI is visual mode.  There are lots of others
but visual mode is one that most users can use
and appreciate vs some of the C, C++ coding type
features.

All joking aside VIM is the best.
