PG uses vi? For Lisp? Has he gone mad?
Well, on second thought this makes sense if he's programming in Arc and Scheme these days since Slime wouldnt help much.
In theory I agree with you about editors. One tends to do more thinking than typing, but you need an editor that gets out of your way. I think the same applies to touch typing. Once I get into a state of flow I don't want to have any distractions. For now emacs isn't helping since I still need to lookup certain functionality. But it definitely looks promising.
