I have never used anything other than Emacs. In fact, when I do, I feel like I'm half-naked in a snowy winter. :-) I know only the very, very basics of using vi and the thing of switching back and forth between command mode and edition mode drives me nuts. :-) It is a respectable editor, OTOH. > For DVD playing I found VLC Player to work perfectly while mplayer > couldn't get the sound and video synced.

I don't care for the menus, but having them usable is a nice addition, of course. > I've never found Xine to be usable (maybe I'm just to old to cope with > "cool" skins). I have the *exact* same feeling regarding the skins, as I already mentioned. > BTW, the Popularity Contest package tracks your usage of various apps > and is intended (I believe) to give the release team an idea of what > is most used. Indeed, the results of the popularity-contest package (which tells weekly the Debian servers your most used packages) are used to select which programs/packages are put into the first, second, third etc CDs of the distribution. I would highly recommend that others give the popularity-contest package a try, as you will help the distribution be more suited to our needs.
