What do they say about XEmacs and E-macs in Wikipedia? . . .

• GNU E-macs Entry
• XEmacs Entry
• Vim Editor Entry
• Linux Text Editors

Vim is a very good editor, as well. It's commands are more key symbolic. Vim stands for Vi Improved. The benefit of Vim over XEmacs is load-up time and installation size. Almost every Linux system comes with vim or vi. XEmacs and E-macs do tend to occupy a lot of space, around 50 megs or some such number. Installations frugal on space or minimal number of installed packages, leaving Emacsen editors out of the install choices, gives you a noticeable savings.
