Those people use an editor because they don't know any better or perhaps have no choice in the matter, and just use what comes with the system that they use. It's like saying that IE is the better web browser when it comes up as the vast majority of User-Agent hits on any given web site. That, of course, says absolutely nothing about how good IE is, only that more people take the path of least resistance and use the browser that comes with the system they're using. The people at the top of the programming skill chain would most likely have a better idea of what constitutes a good editor, than these workaday programmers of whom only a few have ever programmed or even seen a system different from their own, and thus know of no other alternatives. -- 夏草や兵どもが夢が跡。。。 http://stormwyrm.blogspot.com
