I never said the various emacsen couldn't do it. I find emacs very
confusing. 47 bazillion different "modes" to do everything, a googleplex
of command key sequences, and sucks RAM like it's going out of style.
Sounds like something straight out of Redmond. Even the modes lack a
redeeming quality, being written in LISP a language that uses more
parentheses than actual code.

Better for who? I like vi. Who are you to tell me that I can't use my
favorite editor? I even have a copy of vim on my PowerBook.
