That's baaad!!!!   :)

...emacs is just a habit.  Whenever I try some different editor for a
nicer interface, more buttons, code correction by parsing the written
stuff in realtime, ... I get mad about my finger habits and finally get
back to good old emacs...

I actually tried several times to switch to some other editor - and even
lost a job because my boss thought that the only language proving the
intelligence of its user is java and the only good ide intellij -
because it is expensive.

By the way, is there a decent python mode for vi - and do you prefer to
use it rather than blenders build-in editor?

Cheers, Dietrich

...sorry for spamming the list with unrelated stuff...
