note the important word - i and me.
i have my favorite editor - vi.
emacs is more powerful; on my system, it is slower and more costly (we have
limited cpu usage per day at jhu)
emacs has a lot of useful functions, but i can live without most.

(important word - i)

each of us finds his favorite editor.  we have no more right to comment on
somebody's favorite editor than on their religion, girlfriend, or
favorite radio program.

let's discuss some serious issues, now.
