Pithy questions get pithy answers. What exactly do you want to hear from people that isn't something that has been said since 1986 USENET multiple multiple times.. Emacs does X better than vi? vi does Y better than emacs? In the end, it is really about what you the user find better for how your brain works. So you can't really know that unless you spend a month in each editor trying to see which one works better for your brain. If notepad++ is what works best for you then what does it matter that someone else uses emacs or vi or atom? -- Stephen J Smoogen.
