Well, being that it's a current product and all.. ;)
A coworker still uses EDT, our boss jokingly said that
we should
give
him a keyboard without the numpad, just to make him stop.
Lots of people "still" use EDT. I'm not sure why one should feel
compelled to stop. One reason to stop is that it only runs on VMS (at
least I think
so, and
I'm only counting modern systems here).
It does. I guess many people (no accusing you) assume that VMS is
somehow obsolete or something.
The editor I use runs on VMS,
*nix and windows, which is nice. Still I have learned a few other
editors for systems that don't have my editor of choice installed.
Cross-platform editor portability is wonderful. I'd be surprised
if there weren't at least one decent EDT clone for the UNIX world.
The EDT emulation modes in emacs are, well, not so impressive.
What editor do you use? I think there's a very short list that
run across all three platforms that you mentioned.
