I'm odd.  I like both.  I use vim for most things and emacs mainly for
composing mail via mutt.  This message is being typed in emacs.  I
really haven't tinkered much with COBOL on Linux, via vim or emacs,
lately.  I've been meaning to get more familiar with OC's SCREEN
SECTION functionality.  What little I do with COBOL is usually via
ISPF's editor under zOS.  I work as an IBM mainframe operator.  That
reminds me, I almost forgot about THE - The Hessling Editor.  If I
remember correctly it can be made to look/act much like ISPF's editor.
Maybe I should give it another try.
