aww, spoilsport, I thought we had the makings of a good flamewar there, couldn't I just say "emacs is rubbish and I prefer vi which is vastly superior" just to start things off? ;-)
(even though actually I am barely computer literate and need a cheat sheet to use either..)
Good point well made Kake. I agree, ideally we give people a choice of ways to enter text and some interfaces are truly bad.

I had awful trouble trying to edit the Wiki Wednesdays wiki earlier today because it dumped me into the "word processor" view and so I couldn't see how previous editors had achieved the results that I was seeing on the page. I figured out that I needed to switch it to the "Advanced" view, and all became clear.
Oh, some background to this, since not everyone knows what my day job is - I use a word processor (Word for OS X) exclusively in my paid work as a copyeditor. So I'm not just a geek who only understands emacs.
