Once again, IBM shows it's total ignorance regarding new and progressive programming languages. It only goes to show you just how behind the times Big Blue really is. -- Tom Markson ...!uunet!usblues!tom ...!cbmvax!amix!blekko!usblues!tom

Typical IBM misspeak. This is just like saying that the XEDIT editor on
IBM mainframes is the only usable editor in the world. If only it were
even usable. . .

Going from vi to xedit a few years ago was a bit tramatic for me, but now
that I'm familar with xedit I much prefer its capabilities to vi. xedit
is a surprisingly useful editor once you get the hang of it. Just recently
there was something in another group about a new feature called a folding
editor which had properities that xedit had several years ago. (Unfortunately
I don't know what resulted in that group because my feed got nuked between
christmas and new years.). I have not yet tried gnu-emacs, some day I hope
to have a machine powerfull enough and with enough disk space to load it up.
Because I'm defending IBM in this specific instance, I hope no one gets
the impression that I actually like the Great Satan. But, every now and
then they do come up with a good idea.
