I remember XEDIT, from a shop that was using CMS for a while. I started it up and it looked like hell. Most distracting was a column scale right across the middle of the screen. Fortunately, I didn't run away and hide.
(SET) SCALE OFF (better if in one's profile) the scale is generally annoying, but can be useful if one is editing a very wide file and wants to limit visibility and/or editing to columns n-m (SET VERIFY n m) ... what other editors off the possibility to limit editing to columns or sets of lines with or without a given pattern or to select and remove entire columns ?
I gave it another try and found all the hooks and toggles to customize it to my liking
Yes, it is in my list of favourite easily user-customizable s/w (like THE, fvwm, alpine ...)
