Seriously, there are people who us it as a text editor only, but that's like saying that a computer is just a typewriter. Personally, I just use it as an IDE, a programmable calculator, an e-mail reader and for some limited web browsing, but I know some people use it for IRC and many other needs as well. Try that with gedit, vim, kate, jed or even eclipse ;-) Ok, eclipse is programmable and extensible too, so that one might stand a chance ;-) As for the others, they are indeed just text editors. Sorry, it just makes me sad when people compare Emacs with text editors. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ FSF Latin America Board Member http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
