I am a UNIX/vi user who was recently told about EDT (under VMS), and I would
like to solicit some comments.  What I'm wondering is:

1.  Is EDT a superior text editor to vi?

2.  Is there a version of EDT that can run under UNIX 4.2(or3) BSD?

3.  Is VMS a better environment for electronic publishing than UNIX? (I.e.,
fuller support, more powerful tools).

I realize that there are no correct answers to these, I was just hoping for
some discussion.
