I got started with emacs back in 81 when I was using the Atari Macro
Assembler package. It has the same key strokes for many of it's commands.
I was also using vi for on the schools Unix machine. I found vi's modes
to be annoying but later found it to be a good editor when dialed into
a customer network (I'll post my history later). I use emacs for most of
programming, I even wrote a diary program in lisp. So I like emacs because
it's the editor I've used the longest and I have on most of my systems.
