Either are better than Emacs or Vim. After writing my thesis in Latex using Emacs & dealing with vim for programming in Fortran 90 (I did switch to Emacs and it was slightly better) - I never want to to see either again (or my thesis for that matter).

The magic spells one needs to incant in Emacs to do basic stuff like run a spell check just blew my mind.. Whereas Vim manages to go in the complete opposite direction - i.e. concise and yet obtuse to the point of being equally arcane & difficult to use.

.... Full throttle, dry tank.
