If it's any consideration, Zak and I are both Emacs users (sorry Zak :P). Personally, and like I said, I use Emacs as my primary editor of choice for most of my editing work, vim for administrative tasks (and editing of files over an ssh connection), Notepad on Windows if I need to jot down a text file (and I'm forced to). For a period of time, I switched to jEdit (a Java-based programmer's editor) from Emacs, but sort of gave up on it and switched back to Emacs. I have also, on occasion, used nano (when lazy after a clean install of Ubuntu). To answer Zak's comment about motivation: The one reason I find why I always seem to gravitate towards Emacs is its extensive repertoire of keyboard shortcuts. Sure, some will dismiss and criticize the sometimes unintuitive nature of these shortcuts (and call me a disciple on this), but once you get the hang of it, some editors suddenly just don't cut out for you. Additionally, I can extend it and customize it to my preferences and my work habits. But that's me. :D How about you? :) -- JM Ibanez Senior Software Engineer Orange & Bronze Software Labs, Ltd. Co.
