Does anyone use Sam?  After reading a little about it here, I picked up
the papers and built the editor.  In fact, I'm using it to type this
note.  While it certainly seems like a ``Vi for the 90's,'' I don't
think that I'm going to switch over from Vi for program editing.  The
main reason is that there are just some features of Vi that I use
constantly that are not here like tag searching and the tag stack.  I
also wouldn't mind having auto-indent and something akin to a
``shift-width.''  Word wrap would be nice, too, but I can always do
what I do now: pipe everything through fmt when I'm done.  If these few
features were added, I'd probably switch over even without any macro
capabilities (not that Mr. Pike is anxiously awaiting my switch).  I
think I am going to use it for text and document editing as it stands.

Is anyone using Sam?  Is anyone working on extending it?


Regards,
Neil
