While I am an ardent GNU emacs and epoch user, I would say GNU emacs
is definately not a basic text editor, and it's internals can be
complex (trust me, I've ported it to 3 different machines, and wrote
unexec for two object file formats).  Something like mg might be
better.

I seem to remember that there articles last year about either MIT tech
reports or books from the MIT Press about the general editor design
issues.

Also, I am probably wrong, but the original article smells like a Comp
Sci homework assignment....

Considering the flames and intolerance, shouldn't USENET be spelled ABUSENET?
