Well, actually if I have to spend time learning tools its a waste of time since there are tools thats just usable that's got all the functions I need...
ed has all the functions you need, why not use that?

I just took a look at the mined website. It looks like a huge step up from nano and pals, but... No macros? No regular expressions? No make support? It doesn't seem useful as a programming editor, though I'll certainly start recommending it to noobs for editing config files and HTML.

This is the reason you're no good at what you do.

Can't be. I use vim, and I'm no good at what I do either.

I believe >>92 was referring to >>89's attitude rather than his choice of editor.
I am looking forward to Google Wave. It's heart is a real-time collaborative environment. Imagine multiple coders working on the same source code files (if desired) at the same time. And it keeps full revision history which you can play back.

I am looking forward to Google getting us all hooked up on awesome, spiffy apps and webapps and then, all of a sudden, turning evil and managing to fuck everybody up the ass somehow.

Google will suddenly decide to charge for all its services such as gmail, picassa, google docs, & blogger.
You will completely lose access to your email, pictures, documents, or blog until you pay them enough ;)

You can already do the simultaneous editing with tools like SubEthaEdit and its clones.

That's because its original author wised up and switched to Emacs.

I find it interesting that Emacs users are supposed to be so smart yet their editor has, proportionally, been updated the least of all the editors since the dawn of computers.
This could be explained by one of following
* Those that use it are brainwashed already to think it's perfect how it is
* The users have better things to do than update their crappy editor
* None of them really knows how it works to update it
* No one actually uses it

That's actually not true. There's a retarded level of backwards compatibility with the pre-GUI versions (with all that that implies), but the editor has seen lots of overhauls in other regards. It wasn't until Visual Studio and Eclipse started to actually have a higher feature count that development slowed to a halt.

Emacs has LISP, therefore everything you need is already there.
