And more. "Keep" pushing free? I was the first response! :) I like vi better than emacs personally, but mainly cause I know it a lot better. For someone on OS X, that wishes to use a GUI (which was my assumption), would you really suggest they spend the time learning emacs or vi? My guess is that most people who suggest such things don't realize how long they spent learning how to be productive in it. I'd guess that anybody who learned vi or emacs after 2000 wouldn't suggest it. I personally learned it in '94 and still don't feel that productive in it. IanThread Previous | Thread Next
