Not to add to the noise, and I know that many or most of you are
sysadmins on many machines, where I'm a developer primarily on one,
and I know that emacs breaks the "do one small thing well" unix
philosophy, BUT.... if you're using emacs to just edit, you're Doing
It Wrong (tm).

That said, I'm an emacs user but I also know enough vi to get around.
