editor wars ad infinitum...

[Michael Bruck]

I don't have any real preference for one editor over another, although
I do try to stick to one editor to do most of my work on, but I have noticed
an interesting trend here.  We recently switched to Unix workstations from
a VMS environment, and our draughting technicians, who are not CS majors,
or computer afficionados in any way (they just use the machine to get their
work done) have been given a choice of editors (vi and emacs), and without
any prodding, they all seem to be drifting towards using emacs.  I haven't
investigated this to find out why yet, but it may be interesting to find out.

Work is the refuge of people who have nothing better to do.
