Disclaimer: This is not intended to start an Editor War, just curiosity about the Google search result statement and interest to understand it, where it comes from. About the editor Learning Curves I got this result: Notepad++ (Flat) << Vim (Steep) << Emacs (Extremely Steep/Spiral). Two things I'm curious about that here... First I'm wondering that Emacs is considered more difficult to get into than Vim; the story I usually have heard the past decades was that Vi/m is much more difficult to get into (and Emacs more "simple/intuitive"). Has the valuation of difficulty commonly changed recently? Then, what has that "spiral" to mean when talking about learning curves? (I have the graph of functions in mind where you see the proficiency of learning plotted over time, and I have a problem imagining how a spiral would look like in a 2D-graph.) Janis
