No problem.  I've always said that when it comes to editors (or operating
systems or ...) and religious wars it usually is just a matter of preference.

However, your argument above is very similar to the arguments people used in
discounting multitasking on the Amiga when it was first released (I'm only one
person, so why would I want to do more than one thing at a time?).  After they
learned to use it, though, the same people began wondering how they ever lived
without it.  Leave yourself open to new ideas and new experiences...
