sw-) I would love a 'simple' editor to distribute with Elm ...
fr-) I simply don't understand why this request keeps coming up ...
Easy. The user's word-processing editor tends to leave huge ugly
chunks around, or indent things which it shouldn't, or generate
``long'' lines. Some people don't normally use an editor.
For these folks, we need an alternative. The most common
editor, ``vi'', is lousy. EMACS is too {large, slow, difficult,
good for users:-pick one}. You don't want to know about ``ed''.
