Noooooo! Don't take Zile away! I use it instead of emacs. I hope it's not too large. It's even easier to use than emacs. I've heard that CE supposed to be small, as it used to be on tomsrtbt floppy-disk linux, but he removed it with version 2.03.

I prefer vi and its clones, but I'm trying to learn emacs as well since the key bindings are similar for many of the older applications, like 'info' pages.

Calling emacs (or one of it's derivatives) a text editor is like calling the USS Nimitz a rowboat.  That thing's a web browser, email client, IRC client...it's practically an operating system (and I vote you kick it to the curb, long live vi!).

Jolly well put . Death to emacs.

It could always be an optional script install.

How much space are we talking about here?

Emacs is really powerful and a must-have for the 3 people left on Earth who remember how to use it. :)

Seriously, zile is probably a great tool for a certain kind of user base.  However, this user base is definately not the point-n-click crowd like myself.

So if it doesn't take up a lot of space it should be kept.  Otherwise... well, you get the idea.
