> But kind of easy-to-guess once you have used Windows for a while. Um, no. Just line swapping is different across IDEs. The same is true for other advanced editing moves. We're not merely talking about feature set Notepad or some random edit box has. For Emacs/Vim, the time investment to get from extendable editor to, say, a C++ IDE parity is greater than it is for a dedicated IDE. Personally, I use dedicated IDEs for where they shine (Java, C++, ...) and simple but powerful editors elsewhere. I love using Emacs for writing documentation because of all the advanced features it provides for text editing. So we're probably in the same boat on this. My point is that once you have gone beyond the initial setup and superficial use, becoming a proficient expert at the tool takes equal effort.
