It might be useful to include this quote:
"Emacs outshines all other editing software in approximately the same
way that the noonday sun does the stars. It is not just bigger and
brighter; it simply makes everything else vanish."
Neal Stephenson, page 96 in the book "In the Beginning ... was the
Command Line"


Hopefully helpfully yours,
Steve
