I wasn't comparing anything to anything. I don't understand
even what your objection might be.
In the old vi-vs.-EMACS flamewars it was often claimed by vi advocates
that EMACS' larger memory footprint and greater attempted
extensibility made it basically a replacement operating system. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor_war .
Oh, I'm aware of that. I just didn't get it. Ok, he was
talking to HIMSELF not to compare EMACS to an OS. That's
why the ellipsis. I thought he was simulating a slow system.
Ok.
I'll admit that I don't care for EMACS, myself. However, I also
don't care for VI. The main advantage of VI is, it's always
present on any *NIX type system, so knowing how to use it
is an advantage.
Anwyway, thanks for the response.
Mike
