I need to convince some people that Epsilon is a better editor for
programming in C than the IBM Professional Editor, or SPF/PC (an IBM
mainframe editor lookalike).

Since I know many programmers out there feel strongly about their
editor of choice and also that many people support Epsilon (Stallman's
EMACS) I thought I would ask the networld for help.

So, to anyone who is interested, what are the advantages and
disadvantages of Epsilon over IBM PE and SPF/PC???

Please send your replies to me and I will post a summary later for any
of those curious in miscellany of opinions about PC editors.
