Oh My God ! Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you ! I've just run the program once - but ... ... HERE IT IS ! IT'S BRIEF ! ALIVE AGAIN ! AT LAST ! Not some half-assed notepad clone with some different key-assignments and none of the functionality, no macros, no keyboard reassignment, no nothing. From my 30 second experience with this program it looks like this is the real thing. (Sob - You are a hero !)

Very configurable yet better defaults than Vim and Emacs. Cross-platform so you can use the same editor everywhere. Fantastic!
