- Orca 2.0 editor is very nice in my opinion. Who tells you it is slow?
- It is much faster in my opinion (or is it because of my Zip?), faster
- than microEmacs, stevie, etc.
-
- Yes, it can loads 9 files at the time (or is it 10?). Yes, and it is not
- as buggy as Rose, ie, it has never crashed on me yet for more than half
- a year (or am I just plain lucky?).
