startLOL! :) Use vi! I finally just gave in and learned just enough to be able to edit config files with it. :) ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)! SELECT * FROM User WHERE Clue > 0 0 rows returned

emacs is a pain to install (as the default for various applications) and get used to. But you'll love it once you get used to it. "To his dog, every man is Napoleon"

I cant get over the dysfunctional scrollbar operation. :mad: It's like every UNIX weenie has his own interpretation of how controls should work and how menu commands are named. The moral of the story: It's no surprise MS dominates the OS field. ~Nitron.

startI agree with you totally. I like using Windows since I actually like to get some work done instead of spending all my time fiddling with my PC searching for drivers ;p But if you are stuck using Linux and need an editor I think there are few sophisticated alternatives to emacs "To his dog, every man is Napoleon"

viCome on then! Whatcha gonna do? Bleed on me? ;P Seriously: On Unixish systems, nothing beats emacs. If you don't like it; fix it. It's extensible enough to host pretty much anything you need inside it. And then some more. Heck, if it was possible, some people would rather boot emacs than an OS. Those who argue that emacs sucks doesn't know and/or appreciate Lisp. It requires a month or so to become friend with emacs, but when you have, it'll be your best friend ever. After having been locked up in the Windows world for three years, I really do miss emacs. :sigh: -- Booohoo! -

who in their right mind would ever think to type
