     My editor of choice is Emacs off the 1.3 extras disk.  The things I
 like about it is that if you use interlace (like I do), emacs will open
 a custom screen the same size as workbench.  And it will handle the
 extra size properly.  Also, if you use a funky font, and/or use interlace,
 it will handle that properly, also.

     Emacs is just as fast as I need it, and has basically all the
 features I want.  It does have some problems (does Mr. Jesup want to
 hear about them?) but is great otherwise.  I don't understand why
 anyone whould complain about it's speed.  Use fastfonts.

     If I were you, I'd take a look at a lot of editors before making
 any final decision to it's functionality.

I am an expert on all subjects, and as long as you
don't ask me any questions, you will remain convinced.
