Hi :) I've heard Emacs is excellent. Good choice. It's pretty rare for LO to corrupt anything. If anything goes wrong with a document it's usually due to some other 3rd party tool (such as Word) and even then it only seems to be DocX or in rare cases Doc. We've only had a couple of cases of Odts going wrong in the whole of the last 2 years as far as i can remember. Not bad out of 60million users! Regards from Tom :)
