 vi or emacs?
Which one do you use? Or do you have another editor of choice? I'm still using ee, and will probably try out these two in the near future.

OK, this is probably going to sound stupid, but in almost all cases I go with vi. I don't get religious about it like some people (arguing over which text editor is best is pretty lame!). I started using it mainly becase I knew that EMacs won't fit on a floppy, so regardless of which is your personal favourite, if you need to use a rescue floppy, you will need to use vi, and I didn't want to get caught in the position of not knowing it whan am emergency cropped up. I notice that lots of people seem to prefer xedit, as it seems the 'simplest' from anm ordinary user's perspective . . . this is of course, as long as you can get into X!

It's actually pretty easy, though not terribly intuitive. Once you learn the basic commands, you learn to "think" in vi, and then it becomes easier. It is actually quite well-designed and it has its own sort of internal logic, and I just got used to it. As for EMacs, I only know a handful of commands and I am not all that familiar with LISP. I've used PICO as nedit as well, and find they work good for quick editing too, although they are not as universal.

vi, I vote no question.
At the time when I was in university I am the mania for vi. I even not very comfort with dos EDIT editor and so I use "vi for dos"
As I know, there is a service for Unix when install in NT/2000, you will get vi editor for dos.
