- Jeeez, did anybody ever actually try to answer the guy's question? I
- couldn't tell through all the holy editor wars.
-
- The only vi implementation for the Mac that I know of is Stevie. I
- believe it is available at the sumex archives.
-
- Other possible choices are BBEdit, Alpha (my preference), and a couple
- microemacs clones. All these are available for anonymous ftp at
- sumex-aim.stanford.edu.
-
- Other than my little parenthetical above, I won't make any judgments
- on the quality of any of the choices. I think we've had quite enough
- of that.
