When somebody joins a mailinglist naturaly that person receives all the mails that are sent to the mailling list, hence sending to the list is enough for me to read the replies no need to send it directly or via CC to me. * Doug McGarrett; <dougmack@i-2000.com> on 15 Apr, 2002 wrote:
Why would any sane person try to learn emacs when there are so many simple GUI word processors and even low level text editors that are easily accessable available? An IT person might need emacs if there is no GUI on his system, or even "edit" but for anybody else, just use a standard editor. Just my 2c plain. (I suppose that emacs might do some print-ready layout, if one were super sharp. But there are lots of other things that do that, like StarOffice, for instance.) --doug
An IT person needs to know "Vi" but not Emacs IMO, and Staroffice is not capable of producing pure content which cannot be rendered to desired styles. So a *sane* person who values the differences betweeen content and context does have the chance to use Docbook or XML and to produce the content Emacs is an option but Startoffice is not an answer. -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
