Give it a go, if you have not done so recently.

The software will not allow you to vote twice. Try it and see. When you posted your first post, there was no nedit option. After praze also indicated a preference for nedit, I added the nedit option as I mention in a post on page 2. nedit has received two votes one from you and one from praze.

emacs is a geat text editor because you can , at the same time :
- edit a source file
- play tetris
- check your mails
- surf on the web
- have a shell session

and so more...
