Somehow I don't think the people on the two sides of this argument are
arguing about the same thing. I like GNU Emacs. I really do. I use
it on the university Sequent I'm posting this from. But it doesn't
run under mess-dos. I can't afford to go out and buy a big disk, more
ram, and then spend $500--$1000+ for unix. I'd like to run unix on my
machine, and when I can afford to do so, I will. And I'll use GNU
Emacs as my editor.
Right now I use Qedit. It is inexpensive, fast, works reasonably
well, and I hacked the keybinding file to sort-of resemble GNU Emacs
so I don't go nuts switching from unix to mess-dos and back. I've
played with most of the free Emacs-like editors for dos, and I don't
like any of them too much. But I'm still looking around.
