Colin,

   I still use vi a lot.  A long time ago, before I ever thought about computers, I took a typing course in high school.  Vi's strong point is efficiency.  You can do practically everything with your fingers on the home row.

   Of course, if you are not a touch typist...

   Someone mentioned xemacs.  I like this one a lot, especially for HTML, but it is not supplied with Fedora Core_5.  I checked the website, and found it has not been updated since something like 2001.  It does not support XHTML as far as I know.  Is it still supported?
