that's because we already know about emacs and vim -- some of us don't like modal editors, or editors that try to be the universe. When you're checking your email in your text editor something is wrong.

That's simply a testament to an editor's extensibility. If you don't want to use it for email or as a browser then don't.

but see thats the beauty of it, that its able to dynamically change to your needs when you are using the machine.

Though is that worse than checking it in your terminal? :)

I haven't gone anywhere close to total darkside like that. But I'm playing with the thought. I need better Linux/Emacs/terminal chops first, though.
