> quality is the important thing and the editor has little to do with that. If you consider that the final outcome of any programming exercise is a text file then yes, any editor can be used to produce that file. Also the quality of the code found in that file is entirely dependent on the quality of the programmer and not the editor used. However, what a good programmer's editor brings to the table is the ability to produce that same code in a shorter period of time.
