In other words: if there are no features, you don't have to work to learn them? I agree that learning to use an editor well is hard work -- but its well worth it. It's the primary interface between the programmer and the computer, and will continue to be so until you are too old to type. One thing that I think favors Vim over Emacs, is that Vim seems to be installed by default on almost all Linux distros. As I understand it, they tend to include a crippled version of vim with many of the interesting features disabled. Doesn't help a Python developer much. Of course, both Emacs and the full vim are trivial to install, unless you're the sysadmin's sworn enemy. /Jorgen -- // Jorgen Grahn grahn@Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu \X/ snipabacken.dyndns.org R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Any text editor will, in a minimal way, do the job, so there's nothing to enforce should. But since it seems you're asking for opinions: A text editor is an indispensible tool for a programmer, and it needs to be used very frequently, to the point of being able to use it without conscious interruption of thought to figure out how to do something. I think you should learn one powerful general-purpose extensible cross-platform popular free-software text editor, learn to use it well over time, and use that for as much of your text editing as possible. It seems ludicrous to me that people choose editors that are any of: * too simple (can't increase expressiveness as you grow in competence using it) * too narrow-focus (can't leverage the investment of learning that tool by using it for every text editing task) * exclude a major operating system (can't leverage the leraning investment when moving to a new platform) * too little community base (can't take advantage of a user community sharing improvements and features) * not free software (can't install it with impunity on any workstation one finds oneself needing an editor, and can't be confident the software will continue to be available for as long as users want it available) And if editor is bether choice witch one to use! The two main choices that meet the criteria above are Vim and Emacs. In my opinion, either is a good choice. -- \ I got food poisoning today.

Try the free komodo edit. it works on both windows, Linux and Mac OS X http://www.activestate.com/Products/komodo_edit/ It is what is drawing me away from the kde editor kate and I will close my message with a linke to the features list http://www.activestate.com/Products/komodo_edit/features.plex I sound like a commercial. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

So, if you learn Vim you will never (almost) be without an editor, even if you just have access through a terminal. So, I recommend that you do learn at least the basics of Vim.
