John,

 I once was a vi freak typing out those bizarre command lines strings that
replaced the 3rd charcter of every word beginning with a d with the letter
f.  But I took some time (about a week) and decided to give this new fangled
emacs thing a try.

Its wonderful, syntax highlighting the Ada enviroment that is provided for
FREE is great, templating tools, integrated compiling, a list of the functions
and procedures in the code with the ability to jump straight to them and
all sorts of other goodies...
