Well, I use emacs for more than just an editor. currently and in the past,
it’s
been my multi-windowing “os”, ftp client, mail reader, news reader,
remote-file
editor, shell handler, IDE, etc.

I like the idea of VIM for an editor based on the beauty of vi’s paradigm,
but
it just can’t do what I use emacs for.

I’m half again dangerous enough with lisp to hack out an emacs
function when and
if I need it, but being able to do that in ruby would be so, so cool.

I don’t know about emacs, but vim has had the ability to be scripted
with ruby for quite some time now.

Perhaps SpamAssassin should kill messages with ‘vi’ or ‘emacs’ too :slight_smile:

It’s a testament to the baseline peace and harmony of this group that
a message alluding to the beauty of vi could be perceived as a shot in
a flame war :slight_smile:

I’m glad someone sees it that way; I certainly didn’t mean to bruise any egos.
vi (et. al.) IS beautiful. It’s just not what I asked about, that’s all.
