There are so many editors in UNIX, so you can choose any that fit you. Different editors for different people... if you have one that you like, why bothers about other editors. each editor is made with different need, different philosophy, different situation, different constraint. I'm sick to people that arguing about editors in UNIX. UNIX means choice. Use whatever you like. Please read UNIX Philosophy book. I am a joker because vi is a "joke", - dmn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
