Well, I have yet to find an editor that I'm as productive with as XEDIT,
and I've used quite a few.  Outside of really complex regular expressions,
I haven't found any editing task that I do that XEDIT couldn't handle
(that other editors could).  And some features of XEDIT are not commonly
found in other editors (like the ALL command, the eXclude line
command, and others).

I tend to use VAX TPU on the VMS systems here because I can run it
more or less like a command-based editor (via the "do" key).
