   Of course, everybody should be using Emacs-type editors...I would never use
   anything else ;^)



Which emacs editor do people use for pc's?  I know of only two: MicroEmacs and
Freemacs.  I find Micro-Emacs kind of buggy (I cannot redefine ^U-- try it;
the functions have different names than emacs, eg, bind-to-key vs
global-set-key) and Freemacs has a wierd extension language (mint).  Which of
these two emacs-like editors (assuming only two) do most people prefer?
(either email or post an opinion and I will post a summary)

Since I have totally redefined my keys from the normal emacs bindings, I
cannot use an editor which does not allow me to redefine the keys. So I do not
consider an emacs-type editor which does not allow me to redefine the keys to
be an emacs-type editor.  At this point I use MicroEmacs but it only supports
two keymaps: ^X and ^[.  What about Freemacs?  Does it support multiple
keymaps?  If so then I would appreciate it if someone were to send me a sample
mint source for Freemacs which redefines some keys and things.  In addition,
does Freemacs blink matching {}[]() like emacs and does it have a C-mode?

Thanks,
