Although I'd rather use Emacs for anything serious, I don't have it installed
everywhere either: vi or ee do have size advantages, you're certainly right.
However, the ChangeLog format is pretty simple, no reason you couldn't emulate
it by hand. Entries look like:
2003-05-30 Charles Swiger <chuck@pkix.net>
* added Mersenne Twister RNG in place of srandom()
* used cproto to convert old K&R C code to ANSI with prototypes,
which fixed a program hang in the dust accretion process
...but emacs does a good job of autoindenting new entries for you, and
wrapping the text, etc.
