as the complete *nix idiot nano was the only *nix editor i ever sucessfully edited and saved a file, except those in KDE/Gnome but that doesn't count..
For the windos i'm living in 95% of my time, i use textpad and sometimes plain notepad. Notepad almost only if Textpad has its UTF-8-hating-day.

People still use editors that lack built in refactoring commands, on the fly compilation and syntax checking (not just highlighting), and GUI builders? Oo Do you guys still use card punches as well?

i bet you use a pencil with a built in calculator and think that's absolutely necessary as well...

You mean you still use languages that have to be compiled, that can't have their methods dynamically altered while they run? Oo Do you still use teletype?

That just proves I'm neither a kid nor a useless academic, although occasionally one of them gets a clue and realizes what a nightmare such things make software maintenance and development on any significantly sized project.
"oh-so-essential 0.1 second response times" is nice, but for significantly-sized projects it is not. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Which is it?

"oh, let me sart up xemacs on my mac!" gimme a break. vi and its derivatives own emacs any day.
I'm take a vim job any day of the week. If for some reason I am forced into a Windows environment I will just telnet straight into my university mainframe and use vim from there.

Adjusting stack pointers? Sounds like a security nightmare. Don't need to go to the trouble of using buffer overflows anymore, the machine invites you in!

You, emacs people, are faggots. You even have to invent your own shortcut naming scheme because you, like good GNUfags, just *HAVE* to be different. C-x... WTF, mate. It's Ctrl+X for fuck's sake! Every-fucking-body writes Ctrl+X! But no, the GNU/Morons had to do it a different way to be "free".

FUCK you vi bitches.
ed is where it's at. loads quicker than vi and is MUCH more minimalist.
and for dos, nothing beats edlin.com. That shit rocks.
ed and edlin lack basic editing features. it takes a lot longer to do anything in emacs than it does in vi because pressing ctrl+whatever takes a lot longer than just pressing one key.

Ctrl-X is for "cut", not "execute some obscure command from the eMax operating system with Lisp inside". And next time, you'll tell me that eMax has binded the Ctrl-C (CUT!!!) keys to "launch Lisp macro with closures, save the file and execute gmake on the subfolders"...

HAHA both VI and emacs sucks so hard it's probably a black hole.
also, emacs sucks harder than VI, especially since most key commands are longer than longcat

I have no idea, I recall hunting for ages for it back in the days I used windows, it was a good simple program. Now on linux, I use vim all the time.
