I use !Zap, which is a very EMacs-like text editor that does
everything you can imagine (OK, perhaps not quite everything,
but everything *useful*). I used to spellcheck texts on my
parents' computer with Word (6.0), but I dropped that habit, and
now I have the best prereaders in the world. :)
Terry Pratchett says:
Use a wordprocessor... why do I feel this is not unnecessary advice
here? It makes everything mutable. It's better for the ego. And you can
play games when all else fails.
I think the man has identified the biggest advantage of writing
with a computer, don't you? :)
