According to this argument, you should be editing with adb :-)

This tidbit of info is certainly consistent with gnumacs' X icon, the
bitmap of a kitchen sink.  I'd rather have an editor that can edit
gracefully and other programs that do other things, than one program
that does everything but nothing particularly well.

I'm not explicitly saying I don't think GNU-emacs does anything well.
In fact, I'm favorably impressed with its X mouse support.  I still
prefer vi, though.
