WebRuss: Your wait is over.
Emacs, yes its is a great editor. 🙂 Although I will admit the learning curve is high. Emacs uses strange key combinations to open files etc. ,
C-x C-f open file
C-x C-c exits program
however, if you are doing just the X-Windows gui, you can use the pulldown menu.
So try emacs...
Down with the communist pig dogs that use VIM 😃 .
