In a previous message, Andy Pendry said: > Is there a better editor than uemacs for freeBSD? That's a religous war question. You have a ton of choices for editors. uemacs is compact and fast. emacs (gnu) is large and full featured. vi (nvi) is the Unix standard. nedit is a motif based editor. see is the Plan 9 editor. pico is the pine default editor. And a thousand other favorites exist. If you like uemacs, use it. If you want more of a "good" thing, maybe try emacs. If you want to *KNOW FOR SURE* that your editor is going to be there, learn vi. If you want a small learning curve, then pico or nedit maybe for you. Me, I like emacs, but reality makes me use vi more than anything else. -- You can listen to thunder after lightning and tell how close you came to getting hit. If you don't hear it, you got hit, so never mind.
