not to start an editor war, but I've found that emacs makes a good<br>
enough development environment for me. I suspect that's the same<br>
experience that the (g)vi(m) crowd has had. The editors seem to be<br>
"good enough" and making them better seems to be "real hard", so we're<br>
stuck here for a while.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I guess I don't understand what's limited about either vim or emacs. Both are extremely mature and reliable and have extensive plugin systems. If you want a feature in either, it's likely there's been a plugin written to do that or close to it. For example, I know of several plugins that may be added to vim to make it a better editor of Perl (I use a few). The same is true in Emacs. For example, I watched a screencast by jrockway recently for a new REPL tool he wrote for Emacs.<br>
