[Chicago-talk] Best perl editor on Linux?

[Young, Aaron]

and you stay away from the other vi clones for a reason?

is it that all those other features are too much? is it the load time?

redhat installs it by default and i've never heard any mass complaints
(i don't use redhat, so this may have changed)
