Re: emacs or xemacs ?
I do. Why? Mostly don't know. Just familiar with it. At one time
it was impossible to get both to work properly on the same system.
I did not want to give up emacs for XEmacs. There were several
things that did not work in XEmacs, when I first installed and I
did not have the patience to find out why. If I had more time,
maybe! Some of the keystrokes are different, etc, etc...
The reason such questions frequently cause "holy wars" is that
a text editor tends to become the extension of the user. Once you
learn vi, you do not want to change. Once you learn emacs, you
don't want to change.
