why the devil should an editor compile, read mail, or read news?
I find being able to compile from the editor quite nice, if you have a
problem you can go right to it without having to remember what !@#!%!
line(s) you had a problem with. It's a good enough concept for MS-DOS
(:-O) compiler companies to use... ( editor wars are bad enough, OS ones..)
emacs is just a visual shell.
And I don't think you'll find too many arguments about that. I think that
Len Tower said once that you can think of emacs as a windowing system for
character based terminals.
I'll stick with my emacs :-)
