(Anybody remember Edlin for msdos?)

He he. Ya, Emacs is huge in that it can do lots of stuff. Maybe I misunderstood, but I believe Shendemiar was looking for a simple editor, not necessaryily a tiny one. I use Emacs because that's just what I like. I've used Emacs, Joe, Pico, and Vim, and I like Emacs the best. To be honest though - if your just using one of these editors infrequently, and not for major coding, they are all very comparable and really the only deciding factor is which program's keystrokes make the most sense to you.
