Blow it out your posterior.  Your human factors people are a bunch of losing
scum if they advocate throwing out an editor because another has been reported
in a somewhat dubious study as being more efficient.  Let users use what is
comfortable for them.  One of the biggest lossages in micro computers is the
lack of a reasonable diversity in editors.  Our VAX's support 3 versions of
EMACS, three versions of /bin/ed, vi, and if someone asked, we'd proabably
put up the rand editor as well.
