Re: Editor wars considered harmful

[Bruce Perens <bruce-25473@debian.novare.net>]

The problem is that no editor is popular with everyone, and nobody is
learning VI any longer, and Emacs isn't so popular either. The solution
is to put up a menu of check-boxes of what editor you want, and install
it from packages as soon as possible after the system is installed.
Adding editors to the base is a slippery slope. The reason you add one is
just as good to add the next...

	Thanks
