STOP WRITING TEXT EDITORS

Or at least stop writing text editors without keyboard macros. It seems like every hack coder with Dive Into Python under his belt is working on the Best Editor Ever, with super-nifty features like code folding, syntax highlighting, and snippets, but somehow he always forgets to implement macros. Fuck, even Eclipse doesn't have macros! It's not that hard, guys. Just make every operation a named command from day one, then write a command that records a set of commands. That shouldn't be too much effort to put into making your editor not entirely worthless.

RMS Michael Stallman wrote a text editor and included macros, he also included many other features. The text editor has become known in the hi-tech world as VIM.
