Uh oh, it's holy war time! :-)
Both are very very good. EMACS seems to be the choice programming editor in
the UNIX world. It is, however, affected by some restrictions under DOS
(like no integrated debugging). RHIDE is very similar to the Borland IDE's
used by many DOS programmers. Either are suited for professional
development, and IMHO, don't waste your money on commercial software when
such free options are available.
