But trust me on this: these are probably the most powerful editors ever to be written, even if they might look slightly trashy to you -> [leave out the trust me] (you should also mention vi just for good measure; having newbies thinking the must learn Emacs to do CL programming is a tough one to swallow)
Well - it is more or less the reality. You can use vi, that's for sure, but then nyou can use notepad too. Maybe it's just me, but I think the eval-S-expr thing is absolutely crucial.
Anyway, I subscribed to the NEdit mailing lists to see if it is possible to cook up some kind of lisp-mode there. I love emacs, but I agree with you 100% that it should not be the only option.
Are there any other known editors that have something like a lisp-mode, and better, some kind of comint mode?
