Hi.
I just like to know what application(s) people here use/prefer.
eg. there’s ped, elvis, jim etc… for editors
etc… for other purpose
etc…for others…
I do not know which to download/use/prefer. Maybe I can weigh the pro’s/cons
from other people experience.
Thanks

If you know vi keybindings vim(feature full/big), elvis(smaller)
lead the way.
If you know emacs keybindings emacs(feature full/huge), jed(small).
If you are a newbie and you call Notepad a great editor then ped
should be good. Watch out for the crap it puts at the end of the file.
There are those who hate all of the above, then nedit under Xphoton
or pure X should bring you nirvana.
I use vim with full color syntax, my screen looks like xmas, you need
shades, when going by my desk.

Pine, elm and tin. All are text-based, but pine is rather full featured
despite of that. Some people really like to use the by the way. A nice
looking girl next cube to me just loves to use ‘mail’ to handle e-mail,
believe you or not. She remembers message numbers and runs external
utility to handle MIME attachements. Oh well, she started to use
Netscape recently 
The vmail indeed sux and there is nothing to do about it. I’ve ported
Spruce yesterday (GTK based) and it runs under Xphoton, but I used
development/unstable source and it does indeed misbehave here and there
…
I’ll probably try Balsa later, that thing is bigger and takes whole lot
of Gnome stuff to compile, but supposed to be release quality.

I do not why everybody is saying that, maybe because I use elm
#include “disclaimer”
But yes, someone is working on replacement, unfortunately, that is
not the highest priority, he got some other fires to put up first.
