#62I'm not an Emacs user. I assume Emacs can open a 4GB file in less than a second?
Re: Poll: What Text Editor Do You Use?
#63I like Emacs. Enough to vote for both Emacs options :P. With something like Evil, you can get most of the benefits of Vim combined with all the power of Emacs. I'm not a user myself, but it sounds awesome--I'm considering learning Vim commands just to take advantage of it. The only downside is the learning curve. And I think there is a philosophical point to make here: for a tool you'll be using as much as your text…
Bit afraid of emacs, but now that i began learning LISP with gcl , i might look into it. Is it harder than VIM ?

Oh no, certainly easier than Vim. But the important point is that how difficult something is should not stop you from learning it: what matters is how much benefit you can get from it. And you can certainly get a lot of benefit from Emacs!

#65There's two emacs options!

#67Acme
Curious: Are you using AcmeSAC, native plan9, 9vx or hosted inferno or the Plan 9 from Userspace?
For a few years I used each of Wily on a Sun box, then Acme SAC on Windows, and now hosted Inferno on Linux. I could use acme from plan9port, but I prefer Inferno because the whole environment gives me other nifty OS stuff like Inferno's shell sh and /env, which I make use of for the build tool I'm writing. The trickiest part of using Inferno is dealing with the different paths to files depending on whether you're running under emu (emu uses /n/local for files under host /, and / for files under host's /usr/inferno), or on the host (host uses / for files under emu's /n/local, and /usr/inferno for files under emu's /).

#68Acme
I'm a big fan of the Unix/Plan9 philosophy and I write C and Go... but I really can't get over Acme, using the mouse is so unproductive for me. Plus I need some syntax highligting.
Using the mouse or keyboard is a rounding error compared to the time and errors I save by keeping the commands I use in per-directory guide files. I type out a command once, then later modify it slightly repeatedly to suit new needs, and highlight it and run it.
I've never found navigating to and selecting text with keyboard commands as fast and forthright and mindless as just moving the mouse and clicking to locate the cursor and select a range of text, and I used Emacs for 11 years. Also, since Acme binds common operations like cut, paste, and execute to mouse chords, I don't leave the mouse to do these things.
I don't dig candy-colored text, so the lack of syntax highlighting is a plus for me.

#70Kate. I just need the syntax coloring and the terminal.
