Although I'm probably not helping you choose, I have to say that I'm using both of these editors, along with a bunch of others. For instance, when I'm on a virtual console, I don't run Emacs, but a lighter editor, like vi(1) or joe. However, when I'm under X11, where I can afford that extra touch of color that Emacs provides, it's easy to see why I choose Emacs. Now, if I can get Emacs to quote and wrap descently my mail messages, I'll probably stop having editor=joe in my .muttrc and change it to something more fancy like editor=gnuclient, which I'd frankly prefer. > Sorry to be hitting the questions list so hard, but we got hit with a > snowstorm and i have nothing else to do today ;-) Ah well, it seems that snowing in your place causes a load peak in freebsd lists. Typical chaos theory example... Ciao. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > "Don't let your schooling interfere with your education."
