I think editor preference is a "religious" issue simular to the Linux/FreeBSD debate. a good percentage of the people will be unhappy with whatever choice is made.

I professor has remapped jove to be like his DOS editor using .joverc files and we had to remap all his X functions keys because of the above. --mark.
