There is a very real learning curve, one that I am quite sure I am still scaling myself, but, once you get going, you will find out that you have a very powerful editor at your command. It is my choice of editors for coding c++, perl, php and the like. I really like the fact that is can be very easy to customize once you learn how the .emacs file works. Try it out- it is my opinion that you will learn c++ better by using Emacs than by using the Visual c++ editor. Danny
