Well, that comment tells me you are not being serious! <snip> > Anyway, my point is it can be easier to write your own editor to do > exactly what you want, rather than try and customise someone else's. Yes, that it *can* be is trivially true (it depends on what you want and how hard the chosen editor is to program), but I'd say it's not true in general. You get vastly more from building on the work of others. I often find use-contributed configurations that do what I want (or close enough that it's easy to alter). It's clear you take a different approach. You write your own editors to develop your own compilers for your own languages to write... I don't know... your own editors and compilers? At any rate, your ideal seems to be to live in a hermetic world of your own software. <snip> -- Ben.
