This way of PickingATextEditor entails using the tool that is the simplest. Think of this as a Zen strategy - every new gizmo you learn about in a text editor just clutters your brain and keeps you from being productive. This is a simple strategy, best suited for those who do creative work and want a simple interface to do things. In Susan Lammer's book, "Programmers at work", Jonathan Sachs indicates that he uses a TextEditor (which he wrote) with only a few simple functions to write Lotus-1-2-3 with. Pretty darned impressive if you ask me. Advantages: * You never waste time learning a bunch of keystrokes you'll forget anyway and which clutter your mind. * Simple means the software will start up quickly, and have a small memory footprint. Disadvantages: * You never benefit from the increased productivity of powerful text editors. * Your favorite editor may not be cross-platform, leaving you to scramble on the new platform. (or coming back to http://www.texteditors.org looking for a compatible editor.)
