Yup. I tend to use Gnu Emacs almost exclusively. I liked its keystrokes
over vi and later I became intrigued by its internal Lisp interpreter.
>From time to time, especially in low-mem env I use (g)vim. It has some
nice programmability, too. But I remain subscribed to Lisp. AFAIK vi is
the first editor installed by many Linux flavors, so it's good to know it
in case install goes wonky.
BTW, does sed count? I use it, sometimes, in command line etc. And cat,
too, but this was only few times (there was a Linux once, where vi didn't
install and I had to concoct a clone of grep that always returned only
one thing, so that install could proceed).
I have read above paragraphs. Now I see that I am a bit strange and not
like the merry people on the street. But at least I can do something with
a cat that they never ever dreamt of.
