Both are very-much-so good editors. I made the opposite switch from emacs to vim in less than a year. Both are good^Wgreat editors, so one's decision to use one over the other is more a matter of working style. I don't grok LISP, and just never felt at home in emacs, despite all the power I could see that was there. I grok vim (and its similar power/extensibility), so I migrated to it. I have to laugh at the whole holy-war thing, as it's somewhat like arguing about a favorite color. "But blue is so better than green! The sky is blue!" "Nuh, uh! Green is far better than blue! Grass is green!" (okay, here in Texas, that doesn't always hold as true...maybe personality #2 should be arguing for brown instead). My best friend is an emacs user, and I'm a vimmer...it doesn't come between us. :) -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
