Hey guys,
this is supposed to be a Python mailing list...
Both editors are great and are with great potentials. I do use both of
them daily, though for different purposes. It is meaningless to start

Syntax highlighting and help with the indentation (move to the

Nothing else specific to Python.

I have all syntax colors turned off except for strings and comments.
I highly recommend this low-key syntax coloring for those who don't
care for the normal psychodelic syntax coloring.

It's most valuable for sending data to an existing instance of vim, by
name. Both files and keystrokes can be sent fwiw.
vim basically organizes it self into buffers,

I typically use several editors: /bin/ed, nvi, EDIT.COM, and Vi

Many, but none that you won't find with emacs, so when I'm stating it is
just a matter of personal preference, I mean it :o) "Vi or Emacs" is the
same question as "straight or gay"
One feature I have that emacs don't is that I'm able to efficiently edit
a file on a remote machine with vim on a terminal (without graphical
interface), and I'm using it. Apart from that, both solutions are
emacs has the same efficiency on a terminal.
or maybe I don't understand your sentence.
