[COFF] editor wars

My beef with EMACS is that it's too finger-busy.  All that ctrl-x prefix
business.  I'm not fond of vi either.  The only vi command I ever learned
was ESC-:q! so that I could get out of vi if I accidentally got into it.  I
was involved in developing products for both Linux and Windows.  I did all
my text editing on Windows and copied the files to Linux for building and
testing.

I like the joke about EMACS being an acronym for Escape-Meta-Alt-Ctrl-Shift.
