Have you been around long enough to remember WordStar? Remember how hard it was to learn? Well square that and you have VI or EMACS. And WordStar was pretty friendly, when you learned it. Not these ancient UNIX things. Clumsy is the word! --doug On Saturday 19 June 2004 02:12, Nick Mudge wrote:

Also, as a side not. I really don't understand emac or vi. Why would I want to use key board commands to navigate in text files when I can have a GUI to do everything? Does emac or vi have any advantage from me just using kate in KDE? Why should I use emac or vi when I can use a text editor in a GUI? I just don't want to miss something here.
I don't care about linux or windows, I just care about making web sites, so I'm looking for an editor for that. Does anybody have any suggestions?
