Subject: Baby Emacs?
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2009 17:51:32 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <h4vav4$c2j$1@reader1.panix.com> (raw)
I am teaching programming to a few co-workers (research biologists).
Most of them want some recommendation for a text editor. Of course,
I recommend to them Emacs, but I would prefer to recommend a simpler
version of Emacs, one with fewer features, and also fewer ways to
get confused. Is there such a thing?
(A different co-worker suggested nano, but it does not look
sufficiently Emacs-like to me.)
TIA!
