The cool thing about SubEthaEdit (nee Hydra) is the Rendezvous-enabled
collaborative editing features. The editor isn't [yet?] as full-featured
as say BBEdit, Vim, or Emacs, but that feature alone is interesting enough
to make SubEthaEdit interesting.

This feature seems very good for any kind of XP peer programming -- which
I'm sure is why it's there in the first place -- but you can also use it
for spontaneous editing & synchronization of a file (like, say, a config
file) across multiple machines. Useful trick, sometimes.

I'm curious if the Barebones folks are thinking of "borrowing" that
feature for a future version of BBEdit... :)
