I don't think emacs has a steep learning curve for being a really efficient editor, the way (say) vi does. If you can get through the day in emacs without touching the mouse, you're basically there, and the rest is just discovering all the

Nice! I've been waiting for a write-up like this. Because Flash has such good browser support, it's common for bits of rich functionality on sites to be implemented with little SWF files, with or without UI. Sound players, upload widgets,
