The time has come. <rant on> I had always frowned upon how much space 
emacs is hogging my system, and how little I'm actually using it, but 
better the devil you know than the devil you don't, I've been put up with 
it until now, when all my nice settings about it are totally lost. 
<rant off>

Time to look for an all purpose editor to replace emacs. Last time I 
checked, all editors that based on the engine that notepadd++ is based on 
are not there yet. 

The only thing that emacs has while others don't is its folding more, 
which let you define your own folding tag, and can fold a section on and 
off within a split of second. 

So, any greener yard out there that support folding (hide/show a region)? 


PS. I'm long time emacs user so please don't start with how good vim or 
its alikes are. Please.

Thanks
