You are quite correct, I did come across that. The problem is
I can only really count on having an X terminal when I am at home.
When I am working on a contract, I often have to make do with
a serial terminal. I even use Microemacs in preference to Emacs,
because that is all that is supported on OS-9 and a few other
esoteric systems that I use. I just find it much more efficient
to know one reasonable editor well, than a load of different
(possibly very powerful), editors poorly.
It is much the same argument as my wanting a C compiler on any
system I am going to use, regardless of what new and better
languages may be provided..
Regards,
DigbyT
