I've used emacs on and off since the early 80s., along with some
add-ons, such as "Electric C" and "mince" )= "Mince is not emacs.).  I
never felt comfortable with it.

And I've written enough troff stuff to have forgotten most of what I
learned.

For document prep, does anyone still use Interleaf?
