[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 96433, member: 9385"] I have no particular problem with emacs' bloat but that might be because it's the first editor I ever learned to use. Vi came later, and is what I use predominantly when text needs to be edited. I only use emacs for one single thing after all this time, and that is to define a keyboard macro to do some sort of custom and repetitive text manipulation. I'll actually save/quit a file I'm editing with vim, run emacs on the file to only perform my macro, then save/quit to go back into vim to continue whatever edits are left. Heh, never thought I'd see the day when talking about those editors would be apropos in a Mac forum. [/QUOTE]
