One big bonus of the buffer gap editing is seen when working over NFS. When you can say write this big chunk, followed by write this big chunk, you get a reasonably decent speed out of NFS, when you say for(from now until sometime tomorrow) write this little bitty line; you get pathetic performance out of NFS. Microemacs does its writes one line at a time, and it is pathetic. What does micrognu do? Mark "If it ain't broke, don't break it" Jones GNUemacs is the finest editor ever written. It has more features and capabilities than any other editor even dreamed of.
