I keep WANTING to use emacs, but always get queasy when I have to start
mucking around with Lisp to configure the durned thing.
As a longtime vi user, I am pretty happy with vim. The syntax coloring
doesn't work perfectly (whose does?), and as far as I know it doesn' t do
automatic indenting like emacs's cperl-mode, but I actually don't like
automatic indenting anyway. I'm not a big fan of gvim, the window version
of vim.
If you do go the emacs route, the O'Reilly Learning Gnu Emacs is pretty
good. Eschew O'Reilly's pocket reference; those things are always more
trouble than they're worth.
