which I think sums it up well. An editor is a tool you have to be 
comfortable with, since you are using it, not for its own utility, but 
to handle something else. You want to be able to concentrate on the 
something else, not to have to keep thinking about the editor.

For this reason most people have a deep affection for the first editor 
that got really familisr with, and resist atttempts to get them to 
switch to something else.

In my case the first was ECCE on a VAX. Later EDT, and better the EDT 
emulation in EVE. A colleague swore by TECO - most others swore AT 
TECO.

These days StrongED on RISC OS, and Ovation Pro for DTP work, and if I 
have to use Windows, Notepad++
