- From the keyboard of bkjacobs@eos.ncsu.edu:
- :
- :I'm looking for a decent text editor for UNIX. EMACS is
- :cumbersome and don't even think about suggesting VI!
- :I'm using Qedit on DOS and would like something similar
- :for UNIX.
-
- It doesn't seem particularly clever to tell a bunch of
- Unix users that their favorite editors (emacs, vi; note
- capitalization) are indecent, and then ask for something
- that fits your model of decency.
-
- Make an editor so simple a child can use it, and only
- children shall.
