   We are in the process of migrating the majority of our CS program to the
UNIX environment. Up until now, most students have been using vi as their
editor. A few of our CS professors, however, are concerned about how well
students can pick up this editor.

My question is this:

What editor do you use/recommend for use by students? Are there editors for
UNIX which are "friendlier", particularly to novices?

Replies by mail would be appreciated. I will summarize to the net if there
is interest.

Thanks in advance.
