I have > found *none* of them to be as usable, powerful, and flexible as [g]vim. I use mostly my own small, very crude editors which have hardly changed since the eighties. They are bereft of most of the advanced features people seem to expect these days. However I seem to manage fine with them! Most other editors I've tried fail the Bart Test: in the middle of a line, press and hold Backspace. Instead of stopping at the beginning of the current line, invariably they will carry and and delete much of the previous one or two lines as well before you've noticed! This is bizarre behaviour in a *programmer's* editor, as most source languages are line-oriented. (It might be OK if you're working on a paragraph of a novel where the words flow from one line to another and are part of the same sentence.) My own editors pass of course. (I've just tried Vim, which I had to install on my Ubuntu system as apparently it wasn't included amongst the 150,000 files already present. So, 24.8MB of extra disk space later (my own editor is 0.06MB), I try my test on it and of course it also fails, as expected, but with an extra twist: it doesn't delete anything! This must be the read-only mode that has been mentioned. So if someone decides to edit a rude word by backspacing over it and replacing it with a more innocuous one, they'd better be paying attention to the screen!) -- Bartc
