Mac OS X:macos: , *BSD:bsd: and *nix:tux: may all have the same executable format, and in many cases are interoperable, they can have major GUI differences and libraries, mostly Mac OS X.
 
The terminal mode, and maybe even the X11 mode might work on OS X. Eventually I'll port it to the Mac OS X GUI mode (whatever it's called. Cocoa, I think. Maybe Aqua. It's been a while.).

Maybe for you, but I hate modal editors. Besides, Vim isn't as portable or extendable. I won't force you to use something else, but don't make me use Vim. Besides, another choice is always good.
 
 
 
Should be done in 6 months, if I get help. Funny thing is, I'm writing it on Emacs. :cool:

Well things like vim and emacs are pretty much native command line apps. I think people just want a simple text editor, if they want all the bells and whistles, then you get openoffice or something. That's why I use vi and nano.

But if you're a programmer, you would need Emacs or at least vim. You could use nano either if you wanted, or even ed (ha), but the likes of vim and Emacs are much more complete and some of their features aren't always useful, but when they are, they're useful (genius).

God help any programmer who codes in OOo...

cymon:
I do use vim, though I'm not a programmer. That's what OS-X came with. I'm just saying that I don't need many of the Emacs features, I like something nice and light.

Any code written in OO would be bloated just because it was written in OO.

Yea, I agree that alot of Emacs' features would really only be useful to developers. They can be removed, but that is extra work unless you use a non-official distribution or a different clone (like micro emacs).

I don't have OOo here, but I can save and edit files in plain text format using Kword. joy (I think I'll stick with Emacs)
