My $.02 worth...

What's so bad about LSE? The only shortcoming I have found is a lack of
on-line Autodocs-like help, but for structure-type help you COULD open another
window and specify the file name as something like INCLUDE:exec/types.h and
check the file out yourself...

The only annoying thing I've found with LSE is that if you have automatic
indent for { and }, and type an if without braces, and then close a loop (i.e.
something like:
	while()
	{
		if (...) do;
		}
) see where it places that last brace? No proper line-up. But that's minor,
and I have yet to have a need for all the fancy multi-keystroke commands so
many of you want. Most of those are taken care of with mouse and menus.

Anyway, just had to step in and defend my good-ole LSE (which stomps all over
the vi I have to use at school...)
