As with most editor wars this is going off on a tangent. This one platform is
OS X with which this list concerns itself and the original questioner was
expressing doubts about using command line editors and therefore asked about
alternative GUI ones. Whether or not they are worthy of your consideration
because they don't work on Linux/x86, Linux/Sparc, Solaris, Unicos, Irix,
OpenBSD or Playstation is neither here or there in this context although I very
much enjoyed hearing your opinion.
Also I *can* use vim...
Cheers,
