Folks,
This may be considered OT by some, but it hits home with
me given my continual use of editors/WP's. My dream
word processor or an Gnome app like gedit would include
at least a few vi-isms. (I've known about xemacs for years;
it has a vi-like drops, so the user has that option. )
I'm also familiar with vim and gvim. --I just found the
autoindent feature in gedit.
How much work (and it is serious hacking) to integrate the
some of vi into a GUI/Gnome or KDE editor? I like the newer
AbiWord and the growing stability of OO. But my fingers
have been using vi BillJoy finished it. vi beats the hell
out of (forgive me!) ed.
I'm likely among the few who this matters to; but I'd like
to see some reasoned discussion. Flames to /dev/null,
please.

PS: Didn't "knews" let people reply with a large vi-like
thing that popped up?
