text editor wars.

because text editors are just as important as browsers.

gedit:
- pros: tabs [!!!!], syntax highlighting
- cons: none that i care about.

notepad:
- pros: it's a text editor?
- cons: lack of features.

notepad2:
- pros: syntax highlighting, line numbering, organized interface, find/replace
- cons: no tabs?

emacs:
- um.

opera:
- pros: passes acid2 test.
- cons: slower than safari, bloated, has ads in the browser, costs money, proprietary, shoves a lot of useless features in your face [blog and my opera? no thanks], copied apple with the widgets, no text editor.

vim:
* syntax highlighting
* ease of bulk operation
* small size, scale, and simple user command interface make it a wonder over all kinds of connections. yes some of us have to dial into remote sites and do an SSH tunnel over 16.7kbp/s YAY.
* plenty of documentation
* easy enough to keep a reference on a coffee cup
