I find that basic editing is better handled by emacs, especially the electric modes. I also find myself trying to use emacs keystrokes every so often [sigh] but they don't work the same. What I do like better in GPS is the better browsing facility, auto fixing, and the visual debugging. GPS and GVD are pretty comparable (as I expected). The browsing - especially the visual representation of package dependencies is helpful. The auto fix is a cute hack though I would prefer commenting the code (instead of removal) in the case of removing extraneous items. --Mark
