*Leo's unique features*:

   - Always-present, persistent, outline structure.
   - Leo's underlying data is a Directed Acyclic Graph.
   - Clones create multiple views of an outline.
   - A simple, powerful, outline-oriented Python API.
   - Scripts and programs can be composed from outlines.
   - Importers convert flat text into outlines.
   - Scripts have full access to all of Leo's sources.
   - Commands that act on outline structure.
   Example: the rst3 command converts outlines to reStructuredText.
   - @test and @suite scripts create unit tests automatically.
   - @button scripts apply scripts to outline data.
   - Outline-oriented directives.

Simulating these features in vim, Emacs or Eclipse is possible,
just as it is possible to simulate Python in assembly language...
