It seems that "DOS editors" had become an appropriate topic for this
mailing list.  :)

What I have found over the years is that people are not honest when it
comes to editors.

College kids, for example, battles over EMACS and vi, while they use
NOTEPAD in Windows when no one is looking.  It simply sounds cool to brag
about their knowledge of EMACS or vi.

The only thing that you can believe is testimonials like this: "I installed
both the EMACS and Vim on my machine, but I find myself firing up Vim every
time I want to edit a file."
