I never see any discussion about editors other than (clones/versions of)
vi, emacs and the like. Doesn't anyone do any research on the subject?
Or is conservatism on the part of the user community (if it was good enough
for the 70's its good enough for the 90's). Not that I use anything different,
but in 1981 I saw the Rand Editor on Unix edition 6, and I've seen nothing
else that is really different (except when your hobby is programming emacs
to do all kinds of tricks). What about structured text, folding editors
(never seen one) and the like.
