My reason for using Emacs is simple. I just do everything in it. My .cshrc file puts me into emacs, and I don't get out until I have to logout. Mail, news, shell windows, lisp, telnet and virtually ANY other program I want to run from man pages to the obfuscated C codes. The only thing I haven't been able to do in Emacs is play Nethack. For me (as a user), Emacs *is* the operating system. If there is some- thing I don't like or can't do, I go and hack away at some elisp code until it's fixed. Seeing all this, is there *any* reason why I or anyone should use `vi' or any other editor except that they don't have Gnuemacs in the first place? -- Vallury Prabhakar -- rustcat@csli.stanford.edu
