I'll tell you why I like neither Emacs nor VI: Because they are so=20 different from all the other programs I use. I want to be able to press=20 the same key combinations for common commands like save, exit, copy and=20 paste, I want close, minimize and maximize buttons in the same places in = all windows, and I want similar menu entries in similar places. I *can*=20 learn a lot of different user interfaces, but I don't like it. And I have a theory about why Emacs has everything but a kitchen sink. I = think Emacs users want to do everything in Emacs because they find all=20 other programs so different from Emacs. People want consistent user interfaces. It lets them concentrate on what = they're doing instead of unimportant details like which command saves=20 the file in this particular program. --=20 Bj=F6rn Persson jor ers @sv ge. b n_p son eri nu
