It's a great file manager and editor. I used to prefer jed as my editor, but recently discovered emacs highlights .foorc files, something jed doesn't. OTOH, I don't like gnus over slrn. I've been told a million times it can be configured to do everything slrn can, and more. But, I'm not into spending 12.8% of my remaining lifetime learning how. And what's with xemacs? I downloaded and discovered all the usual apps I was expecting are now optional add ons requiring more time scaling the curve to learn how. Not now. Maybe later. nb ...oh, btw.... yep, every day!
