Message: [QUOTE="David Garamond, post: 4433146"] Please, Unix editors like vi/vim and emacs _do_ evolve improve over time (although I personally don't use vi & emacs). Tell that to Windows, whose Notepad, last time I checked, hasn't even got a Replace functionality. You said that Notepad has been superceded. Then Why doesn't Microsoft include a better product (a text editor is certainly as least as important as a web browser). Taiwan still prefers the traditional instead of the simplified notation. Btw, there is a survey that Japanese/Chinese students score 3 IQ points higher than American ones, and this is attributed to the character system that the students use. Apparently, having to learn thousands of different complex characters help developing the logical/spatial skills. [/QUOTE]
