My experience is different, but I am sure that we define basic stuff different. Things like how copy paste works, deleting, and undo (and redo!) will take certainly more than 10-30 minutes. Unless you don't want to use those features, that is. Even if you do everything via the menus (and who reads here is going to do that) there are still surprises (where is redo?). > Configuring it to do Python optimal could took some hours / days some > time ago, but now it just takes setting up Emacs for Python and you > have syntax highlighting, code templates, refactoring and > auto-completion support. Yeah, sure. And learning Python takes also just 5 days... Like I wrote, I am still learning Emacs (and Python). And I don't think I am more dense than you. Just more honest about learning ;-). -- John Bokma j3b Blog: http://johnbokma.com/ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/j.j.j.bokma Freelance Perl & Python Development: http://castleamber.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
