I wish I could un-spend the time I had to use emacs years ago ;)  (just 
kidding, I don't intend to start an editor war!)

If it's possible for a text editor to be life changing, that's vim.  Want 
to know the best part?  It just keeps getting better as you learn more 
and more about it.  The sad thing is I've had trouble with lots of other 
programs when I hit escape after entering text.  It seems they're not 
smart enough for vi-syntax. :p

I guess my only (very minor) complaint is that the ruby syntax isn't 
*quite* perfect yet, but it's darn good.

Now that's something still on my todo list... I've been a skier for 
years, and my wife really wants to take up snowboarding.  And seeing as 
it's only April, we've got another good month of snow in line for my 
area!

No problem.  Oh, and in a few days, you may come to like how your wrists 
feel, too... emacs is painful.
