How does this compare to the facilities and productivity gains from
using DEC's LSEDIT?  Has anyone done an objective comparison?  Even a
subjective opinion would be helpful.  I know that these have the benefit
of being in the public domain, but as a non-EMACS user, I would be
interested to know if the benefit of learning it would offset the
increase in confusion I already experience when switching between vi and
LSE/EDT.
