What surprised me was not the content of the list, but that there are 21 different editors. I wonder if there were any that didn't make the list.

Maybe they just pick few examples from each cathegory?

I use joe as well. Once upon a time, back in CP/M world,
I read Wordstar manual.

BTW, running Wordstar 4.0 in dosemu window is fun!
(and it is damn fast as well).

21? How about 2?

Yeah, really there are just two. I don't know what all those other things are. I find myself unable to care.

Me, I use viper-mode in emacs. In insert mode, it's full-on emacs. In command mode, it's vi. What more could anybody ask for?
