The best platform and editor for Python

[Ben Finney]

Calling all vi/vim users (and we'll heartily appreciate the support
of TextMate fans, BBEdit ones, etc, etc) -- we're at risk being
defined out of existence, since we're neither happy with Emacs nor
wanting anything like Visual Studio, and yet Kay claims that people
in either category make up the whole (one half plus the other half)
and so that WE DON'T EXIST!!! A ridiculous claim to be sure, but
we'd better let Herr Schluehr know that in no uncertain terms...

Bah, it's clear. Vim users are in the *third* half -- the larger one.

Anyone not already in those three categories can presumably find a
decent half as well.

Wow! That explains why I had so much trouble eating me Wheaties
this morning.

Can I still post messages if I don't exist?

vi/vim/gvim user here...

It's in *commercial* projects that
features nobody really needs are not implemented. Profit is
fundamental in convincing you that you really need the features.

In Soviet Russia, you don't need features, features need *you*.

That's because the Emacs users are the only ones who matter.
